Herbal teas occasionally produce toxic reactions. Unwitting use of the foxglove plant for brewing tea resulted in cardiac glycoside toxicity in an otherwise healthy man. Potentially toxic plants are omnipresent whereas herbal tea imbibing has had an enhanced popularity. Physicians will have increasing contact with patients who have inadvertently poisoned themselves with such concoctions.
花草茶偶尔会产生毒性反应。一名原本健康的男子因不知情地使用毛地黄属植物泡茶而导致强心苷中毒。潜在有毒植物随处可见,而饮用花草茶的人越来越多。医生将越来越多地接触到因不小心饮用此类混合物而中毒的患者。
