Chinese Vlogger Accidentally Poisons Herself By Eating A Plant She Thought Was Aloe Vera

A Chinese vlogger accidentally poisoned
herself live on camera. Ms Zhang, 26, was
doing a live stream for something she
termed "Aloe Vera Feast" in a bid to
promote the benefits of eating raw aloe
vera when she bit off a part of alarge plant,
unaware that she was consuming Agave
Americana, a poisonous plant.




The video of
the live show has been circulated online by
various Chinese websites.




At the beginning of the video, Ms Zhang is
heard saying "yum" and "this is great' in
her local language.



As the clip progressed
she complained about the taste, saying:


"That's bitter... that's really bitter."



Soon after, things took a turn and Zhang
realised there was a problem.




Her mouth
went numb and her throat felt as though it
were on "fire".




She ended the live stream
then and went to the hospital where she
was told by the doctors that she had been
eating Agave Americana, not aloe vera.



The
doctors also told her she was lucky to have
arrived at the hospital quickly enough, else
the consequences would have been grave.




Ms Zhang is reported to be in a stable
condition now.
