Be careful while walking in the woods: the most poisonous plant in Lithuania blossomed
Lina Liubertaitė, the founder of the Yellow Carbon, said how to recognize the greenishunk and what the consequences await when it was picked.
– Frequently, after seeing such a beautiful plant that blooms unusually early, March to April, wants to shave and bring home. It is difficult to shave, we saw a lot of comments on the Internet where people shared that they bite their teeth. This should not be done. All parts of the greenish are poisonous, including leaves and rings. It is said that 10-12 berries are sufficient to dose fatal. If you dig that twig, the mucous membrane, lip or tongue will be swollen. It is said that there may be burns. I would not recommend doing this.
– How do you recognize that it’s a greenean?
– It is possible to recognize that it grows in the forest, in the forests, often found on the slopes. It blooms with lilac oil -like flowers, unusually early in March to April. The rings are concentrated at the ends of the twigs, the leaves are also only at the ends of the twigs.

– When you shared a record on social networks, people helped to intensely comment that they didn’t know it was a poisonous plant: repeatedly picked up with teeth, nothing happened to them. Could it be?
– Everyone is different, you can’t know the real reaction – you may not pay attention, maybe nothing special happened. I wouldn’t suggest that you take risks because there were those who said that the lips, tongue were numb, felt those signs. Should not take risks. In fact, even in the novel Kristina Sabaliauskaitė, there was a story when they were poisoned by Žalčiulys. Even in literature, we have many examples and stories related to them.
Reda Narmontė, a member of the Yellow Carbon team, spoke more on this topic.
– When did you notice the first Žalčiai?
– I noticed the first little rings a few weeks ago. I always wonder when he starts to bloom, I still try to see his berries.
– Are many greenish in Lithuania?
– Actually, I did not notice in other forests, but in my forest, where I spend most of my time, I have seen at least four shrubs.
