milkweed, also known as lotus osmanthus flower, fragrant grass flower and water horn, is a perennial herb of Asclepiadaceae, shrubby, reaching 6 cm to 12 cm. The whole plant contains white body fluid, with colorful flowers and high ornamental value, which is suitable for landscaping or potted plants. The whole plant is toxic, especially milk, which can be used as medicine, and the whole grass and roots can be used as medicine, with the effects of diminishing inflammation and relieving pain, clearing away heat and toxic materials, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
On August 5th, three Beijing users had allergic reactions to the flowers booked on flowerplus, a flower e-commerce platform. By the afternoon of August 6th, the symptoms had disappeared. Huajia has now recalled all the flowers with problem flowers and accompanied users with allergic reactions to seek medical treatment.
The staff of Huajia Public Relations Department told Beiqing Daily that milkweed, a flower variety, has always been in Huajia flowers, and it can still be used as an ornamental plant as long as it is pretreated professionally.
the problem of this incident is that a production team did not finish the pretreatment of milkweed before delivery, which caused about 5, users in Beijing and Shanghai to receive flowers containing problematic flowers.
I just hope to carefully check the flowers to be delivered before delivery next time. Caution is the most important thing.
