In traditional medicine, many types of roots and tubers of wild plants have very good medicinal effects when used by people with professional knowledge and in the right dosage and in the right way. However, if you do not know the effects of each type of root, tuber of wild plants or even animals, you absolutely should not use them to soak wine to drink or process them into food. Because if used incorrectly or in the wrong dosage, they can be toxic to the nervous system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, and even life-threatening.

The Poison Control Center, Bach Mai Hospital (Hanoi) often receives many patients hospitalized due to poisoning from drinking soaked wine. There was a patient who drank many different types of infused wine during Tet. The patient often coughed up blood and had purple limbs. The family took the patient to a nearby clinic and was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis, so the family bought anti-allergy and brain tonics for the patient. However, the situation did not improve, so he was hospitalized. Doctors had to do in-depth tests to detect alcohol poisoning. During Tet, every family prepares wine to welcome guests. Each family should be careful when choosing infused wine when they know the origin. Users should drink infused wine in moderation, in the right dosage, and especially should give up the habit of drinking many different types of infused wine at the same time, which can be toxic to the nervous system, heart, respiratory system, and even life-threatening.
