This plant, which bears the title of 'King' in its name, possesses a certain
intense naturethat...It inflicts a

merciless baptismon those who touch it.'The moment you try to pick the beautiful yellow flower blooming there❗️'

'The "

golden sap" dripping from the cut bares its fangs.'This time, we delve into the mystery of a familiar



highly toxic plantthat is being reported one after another on social media as 'growing in my garden'.The moment your child tries to touch that flower❗️

Can you say, 'Don't touch that flower⚠️'?

Chapter 1: Why Maomao would want the 'Greater Celandine'

IfMaomaofound this plant...

As usual, with afearless smileon her face...

She would likely mutter this while drawing her small knife.

'"My, my... this is a magnificent Greater Celandine.

While it carries apoisonthat burns the skin, it has long been called
"a panacea for the skin"—abundle of contradictions.If you extract that

yellow sapand handle it with care,it becomes a

miracle drugto cure stubbornwartsorscabies, but...If someone without knowledge touches it, it is nothing more than a

calamity."' For

Maomao,Greater Celandineis a supreme
medicinal herbthat is '"worth using"' precisely because of its danger.Ignorance is a sin...

Chapter 2: The trap of 'alkaloids' that shake one's life

Greater celandine is a plant of the poppy family, and the entire plant contains a potent
alkaloid poison. ⚠️Particular

caution is required ⚠️ during the young sprout stage. It resembles the delicious wild vegetable

known as 'Corydalis ambigua'—Corydalis ambigua—and accidents where people eat it by mistakeaccidents

are endless. If you were to ingest it by mistake

—・Severe abdominal pain and vomiting・Full-body convulsions・Respiratory paralysis in severe cases

It truly has enough potency to be used as an

assassination poison

that vanishes into the darkness of the inner palace... It is powerful enough. Maomao

would likely say, 'Please, use my body,' with her eyes sparkling 🤩—

she would probably say that... lol.

Chapter 3: Beware of the golden-colored 'poisonous sap'

The most distinctive feature of this plant is the stem or leaves slowly oozing out a

vibrant yellow sap when damaged. Actually, this

sap, contains substances that severely irritate the skin. If you think what a pretty flower

and pick it with your bare hands, and this sap touches your skin... it will cause severe rashes

or
swelling. Especially for those with sensitive skin or

curious children, this yellow sap is poisonous is something adults

definitely need to teach
them⚠️

Chapter 4: Ainu wisdom and the weight of 'designated ingredients'

In the past, the Ainu people of Hokkaido referred to this plant by a name that means

'anus grass'. As the name suggests, it has a history of being used as a

remedy for hemorrhoids... it was truly a piece of folk

wisdom on how to master poison as medicine. However, health hazards have been reported in modern times. In 2020, it was designated under the Food Sanitation Act



as a food containing designated ingredients. This means it is an ingredient that requires
careful handling, to the extent that

reporting health damage is mandatory. It is not

safe just because it has been used since ancient times... Handling it with

caution precisely because you know its true nature is... the mark of a modern

adult who acts as an apothecary.

Chapter 5: Adult re-learning protects you

Right now, there might be

yellow celandine blooming in your garden or on the roadside of the embankment you often walk along. Do you see it as just a 'pretty wildflower,' or do you recognize it as the


'king of medicinal herbs that is dangerous to touch'? The difference in that knowledge

becomes a reliable shield
to protect you and your precious family. 🛡️ By knowing the mystery hidden in the greenery at your feet... the scenery of your walking path will transform into a deeper,

thrilling world of knowledge.

In closing...

Celandine is a plant with a dual nature, much like a
ruler of the inner palace, playing the part of a lovely
'yellow flower' while harboring golden poisonous sap

within its body. That yellow flower

you encounter on the roadside today... can you reach out to it with a smile...? Hehe. - Maomao
