We report a case of attempted suicide by seed ingestion by a transgender patient who was successfully treated at our hospital. While the plant has multiple practical and ornamental functions, its seeds have traditionally been utilized for suicidal and homicidal purposes in many parts of the world. Physicians should be aware of the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of ingestion given the current ease of availability of these seeds in the United States and the increased reports of suicide attempts.
我们报告了一例跨性别患者因吞食种子企图自杀的病例，该患者在我院得到了成功治疗。虽然这种植物有多种实用和观赏功能，但其种子在世界许多地区传统上一直被用于自杀和杀人目的。鉴于目前在美国这些种子很容易获得，且自杀未遂报告有所增加，医生应了解吞食这些种子后的表现、诊断和治疗方法。
