Four elderly people are suspected of drinking homemade medicinal liquor. Can medicinal liquor be brewed at will?

Recently, four elderly people have been on the news hot search because of poisoning caused by drinking homemade medicinal liquor, which has attracted the attention of netizens, who have expressed their views on it. Medicinal liquor can be said to have penetrated into the daily life of the general public, especially our parents, who especially like to drink some medicinal liquor. They all think that their own medicinal liquor is the best. If friends come home, they can not only entertain, but also preserve their health, and they can also sit together and have a few drinks at ordinary times. China has a long history of soaking medicinal liquor. For example, some medicinal materials are added to the wine. Long-term soaking will transfer the efficacy of medicinal materials to the wine, which has an effect.

So, why are these old people poisoned by drinking medicinal liquor? What are the specific reasons? It turned out that on this day, Uncle Zhang was gathering at a friend's house before dinner. Uncle Zhang suffered from arthritis and rheumatism all the year round. After listening to Uncle Zhang's troubles, Uncle Zhang's friend told him that the medicinal liquor he had soaked was very effective. Drinking a little medicinal liquor can relieve rheumatism very well. Uncle Zhang was very happy and drank two or two medicated wines. At first, nothing happened. In the evening, Uncle Zhang felt all wrong after dinner, and his family quickly sent him to the hospital. The doctor diagnosed it as aconitine poisoning.

So, can medicinal liquor be brewed at will? The answer is no, medicinal liquor can't be brewed at will. In fact, medicinal liquor should be brewed under the supervision of doctors, and many folk methods still have many security risks. Moreover, the function of medicinal liquor really varies from person to person. Some people may be useful after drinking it, but it may be useless to others, so don't always follow other people's prescriptions. You must decide what medicinal materials to put according to your physical condition.

In fact, medicinal liquor not only contains medicinal materials, but also directly contains animals. For example, snake wine and bear bile wine, some people will put live snakes directly in the wine, but this is actually not desirable. This kind of live snake has not been disinfected, and it may carry germs itself, which may have bad consequences for the human body.
