There are so many watermelons in the desert, why does no one dare to eat them?

Because it looks like a watermelon, but it's not a watermelon. In the absence of water in the desert and the drought of the four seasons, it is impossible to grow watermelon, a fruit full of water.

The reason why no one dares to eat watermelons in the desert is because the watermelons in the desert are different from the watermelons we eatWatermelons in the desert are poisonous, and people are prone to dizziness, brain bloating, diarrhea and other symptoms if they eat them by mistake.

Most people only know that there are many cacti in the desert, but they don't know that watermelons can also grow in the desert. Although there is a serious shortage of water in the desert, there is actually a certain water source in the depths of the desert, and the "watermelon" in the desert is grown by absorbing water deep into the ground through the rhizome, because the "watermelon" in the desert itself is very drought-resistant, so this "watermelon" can often be seen in the desert. Speaking of this, I'm afraid some people can't help but ask, since there are so many "watermelons" in the desert, why can't you eat a watermelon when you are thirsty?

Because watermelons in the desert are poisonous.

The "watermelon" in the desert is actually very different from the watermelon we usually eat, the watermelon we usually eat is generally red flesh or yellow flesh, which is not only rich in water and nutrients, but also has a sweet taste, while the watermelon flesh in the desert is white, not only does not have much water and nutrients, but even the taste is bitter, so the watermelon in the desert is also classified as "bitter melon".

If it's just bitter, it doesn't matter, the watermelon in the desert also contains a lot of toxins, if you eat it in the stomach, you will immediately feel dizzy, and then you will have diarrhea, which is also the fundamental reason why the watermelon in the desert is not cared for. However, watermelons in the desert are not without benefits, because the watermelons in the desert are "highly poisonous", so they are used by people to make insecticides, which are very effective against locusts and other pests.

In addition, the watermelon in the desert is also used by some local doctors as a kind of medicine for gastrointestinal diseases, and sometimes it is also used as a laxative.

Watermelons in the desert are not real watermelons, but are tools used by desert plants to attract prey, which are often highly poisonous in order to capture the prey that is attracted.

Because most of the watermelons in the desert are nourished by animal bones, it is very likely that watermelons contain bacteria that we cannot imagine, so they cannot be eaten.

The watermelon in the desert cannot be eaten because it is not a watermelon in the desert, but a medicinal gourd. The appearance of this medicinal gourd is very similar to that of watermelon, the flesh is not sweet and not red, and it will also show a white color that makes people lose appetite, which is poisonous. If someone accidentally eats or touches it, it will cause a poisoning reaction.

And it is impossible to grow watermelons in a harsh environment such as the desert, so be sure to follow the safety guidelines when living and playing. Otherwise, if you have a wrong understanding of these plants, you will end up hurting yourself. <>

Because the growth environment of this medicinal gourd is very special, in order to be able to survive, it is necessary to ingest groundwater, and in this way, toxins will be produced. If you are not careful, you will use this medicinal gourd as a thirst-quenching fruit, and eventually you will have headaches and diarrhea. After the occurrence of this symptom, the phenomenon of suffering in the desert will be worse, and the survival rate will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, many plants in the desert are poisonous, such things cannot be touched, and if they are touched at will, they will eventually have a great impact on life. In fact, everyone can see that there are very few plants in the desert that can survive, and the plants that survive are the ones with relatively strong vitality. I believe that when many people go to the desert, there will be a tour guide who will tell you what you should do.

However, there are also people who don't know the toxicity of this kind of thing, so they will touch it, but when you pick it up, the guide will tell you to put it down. Because they've done their homework and know that this stuff is also poisonous. I also hope that everyone will not touch too much when they are in the desert, which is also for the sake of their own life safety.

And don't be curious, because if you are curious, you will end up threatening your life, and then the gains outweigh the losses.

This is because the environment of the desert is very harsh, and the wind and sand are also very large, and the watermelon grown in this way does not taste particularly good, so it cannot be eaten.

They grow in a very harsh environment, and this watermelon is poisonous, and eating it can cause people to have a bad reaction.

It is because there is a serious problem in the environment of such watermelon planting, the taste of the watermelon is not particularly good, and then the nutritional value is not particularly comprehensive.

It is because the watermelons in the desert do not meet the standards of human food, so they cannot be eaten.

Because of the symptoms of headache and diarrhea after eating, the survival rate will be greatly reduced. Deserts are a very common landform that is found in many countries. As for the reasons for its formation, about the same.

Originally, it was an oasis full of abundant aquatic plants and tall trees. Later, due to the excessive cutting and irrigation of farmland, people did not have enough resources, so they had to let the wind and sand invade and bury their homes, until the scale became larger and larger, and there was no life.

Now, with the development of time, it has even become a favorite place for many explorers, because they are very curious about what adventures will be in the vast desert, so many people have gone on expeditions with equipment before, trying to uncover this layer of mystery, but the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny, and only a few can come back alive, and they can often tell a lot of anecdotes.

For example, if you encounter a rare watermelon in the desert, and the two appear in the same place, it is indeed a bit illegal, but in fact, there is such a plant, but you can't eat it, otherwise you are already very thirsty, and there is no water and food, and it is estimated that you will die faster if you eat it. Because the watermelon in the desert is called the medicine gourd, its flesh is neither sweet nor red, it is white, which makes people lose their appetite.

What's more, the most critical point is that this medicinal gourd is very toxic, because its growth environment is very special, so in order to survive, it is necessary for them to absorb groundwater vigorously and slowly produce toxins. If you accidentally eat it as a thirst-quenching fruit, the symptoms of headache and diarrhea will appear quickly, and it will be more severe in the desert, and the survival rate will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, anyone who has been there would recommend it to those who want to continue exploring the desert. If you encounter this kind of watermelon, never touch or eat it, otherwise the consequences will be serious. Of course, the medicine gourd is not useless.

It can still be used as an insecticide and traditional Chinese medicine. It can also save lives and help the injured, such as hemiplegia, rheumatism, constipation and other common diseases.

This big watermelon in the desert looks very similar to watermelon, but in fact, the toxin of this watermelon is very high, and eating this watermelon will cause poisoning.

Because such watermelons can't be eaten at all, the environment in which they grow is in the desert, the temperature is particularly high, and once the liquid in it comes out, it can burn people.

Because these watermelons have been exposed to direct sunlight and touch the watermelon juice, it may hurt and cause people's juice to fester.

Because these watermelons belong to medicinal melons, they are poisonous, and after eating them, they may cause various problems in their bodies.

<> "The desert is full of watermelons, why no one dares to eat them?"

There are about 1,000 species of watermelons, including wild species, most of which live in Africa or arid regions, and about 50 species of watermelons are the most common and widely cultivated. These species of the Cucurbitaceae - Watermelon genus, the fruits are large or small, but they are surprisingly similar in appearance, including leaves and fruits.

Although I am very sensitive to the Chinese love watermelon, in fact, watermelon did not enter China for a long time, about the 7th century to India, and in the 10th century to China. Watermelons are certainly cultivated because of their high water content, but the earliest watermelons were definitely not just for eating, they were also a method of storing water, as the fruit could be stored and eaten during the dry season.

The big and sweet watermelons we eat now are the result of domestication, and of course, some artificial breeding and genetic techniques are now used to obtain seedless, pest-resistant watermelons and so on. Although watermelon originated in Africa and is used as a food for hunting, African hunters will never eat wild watermelons of unknown origin.

Actually, the animals think the same way, and they will be very excited if they see watermelons in arid land, but they don't want to be eaten casually because of the water that watermelons can't collect. However, now research has found that cucurbitacin may play a role in inhibiting taste in some animals foraging plants and some edible plants that humans like.

It is believed that as long as there is enough food, all domestic animals will not choose to eat those poisonous watermelons, and those who are poisoned are poisoned when there is extreme food scarcity. Many "watermelons" in the desert contain cucurbitacin, although it is rarely heard of being fatal to people, but vomiting and diarrhea are essential, which is also a medicinal value of desert watermelon - laxative and vomiting.

However, it is said that there is a way to distinguish a bitter watermelon, which is to spit it out immediately after eating it, and it is necessary to spit out saliva several times. As far as cucurbitacin is concerned, it is not only in these watermelons, but also in many foods that we usually like to eat, such as cucumber and zucchini are typical.

What do the "watermelons" in the desert look like? Let's take a look at ** first:

Don't look at this plant looks very similar to watermelon, in fact, it has nothing to do with watermelon at all, but it is a highly toxic plant called medicinal gourd. I have to say that its appearance is too similar to watermelon, so many people will be fooled, but it is very different from the inside of watermelon, and these medicinal gourds will not only be poisoned after eating.

Let's open it up and take a look.

Although the appearance of the medicinal gourd looks like a watermelon, but after opening, it is not very different, generally speaking, there is no plush outside, there are some vertical strips on the fruit, and the melon is also divided into male and female. Although the fruit looks like a watermelon, it is hollow, the filling inside is spongy, and there are many seeds that look like pumpkin seeds in the middle.

The length of the seeds of the medicine gourd is about 5-6 mm, the color of the shell is brownish-yellow, with a certain gloss, and the hardness is relatively high, and the color of the fruit in the shell is white.

The habits of the medicine gourd.

The medicinal gourd belongs to a kind of bitter gourd fruit, which is generally one or two years old, shaped a bit like a balloon, with a diameter of about 3-10 cm, and three colors of yellow, light yellow and milky white.

Toxicity of medicinal gourds.

The medicinal gourd is a plant that is poisonous to both the vine and the fruit, which means that all parts of it are poisonous, and it is sometimes used as an insecticide. When people accidentally eat it, they may have diarrhea, headache and other symptoms, and if they are not timely**, the most serious may even be kidney failure until death.

Although the toxicity of the drug gourd is relatively strong, there is still some hope if it is treated in a short period of time, milk can be slightly inhibited, atropine can reduce secretions, and poisoned patients have more hope of survival if they can survive for 48 hours.

The distribution area of the medicinal gourd.

The medicinal gourd is mainly common in the desert areas of the Mediterranean and Central America, although there are also in other desert areas, but the distribution is relatively small.

The medicinal effect of the medicinal gourd.

In fact, everyone knows from its name with a medicine word that this medicine gourd can be used in medicine, and the medicine made from it has the effect of **rheumatoid arthritis.

Although it is inedible, it can be used to make wine, and the soaked wine cannot be drunk, but it can be used for **waist pain, if the part is caused by an occupational disease, it can be used to wipe it, but wear disposable gloves!

Because it is poisonous, if you don't mind vomiting and diarrhea after eating it, you can try it. The watermelon in the desert is poisonous, but unlike the poison, the so-called "poison" in this watermelon is only because the nutrients in it are too extreme, making the watermelon more harmful to the human body. From this point of view, if there is no water in the desert and you need to face the danger of dying of thirst, if you don't want to be thirsty to death, you would rather be poisoned, eating watermelon is a good choice.

The desert environment is harsh, extremely hot during the day and extremely cold at night, and you can't dig a drop of water by digging ten feet into the ground, but the soil will be a little moist. The watermelons in the desert grow by absorbing a little water from these moist soils. This water is not poisonous, but when it is stored in the "body" by the watermelon over time, it will also be stored in the body along with the absorption of water.

These dirty substances are the root cause of the toxins in the watermelon.

However, these so-called "stolen substances" are not like the soil stained by watermelons that have fallen on the ground, and they can be eaten after cleaning up. This "spoiled substance" is the same as the water in the watermelon, all over the watermelon, just like the blood of the human body. Although the harm caused by these stolen substances to the human body is not immediately fatal, it can damage the health of the human body.

The most obvious thing is that after eating, you will vomit and diarrhea.

In the Xinjiang region, many people use this watermelon to make "laxatives" for this reason. Although the toxin is not fatal, if it is not for the extreme lack of water in the desert, there is no need to eat this watermelon, and the possibility of survival after eating it will become smaller. If you are on the outskirts of the desert, you can go out quickly even if you lack water, and there is no need to eat this kind of watermelon.

As a result, this watermelon has become a kind of "weed" that is everywhere but no one eats it. The only use is probably that it is occasionally used as a laxative.
