A vlogger from China is said to have accidentally poisoned herself after consuming a plant she had mistaken for aloe vera live on camera.

视频里一名来自中国的主播因为吃了自以为是芦荟的植物而意外中毒。

The 26-year-old, who goes by her surname Zhang, was live streaming her 'Aloe Vera Feast' to discuss the benefits of raw aloe vera.

这位张姓26岁的主播正直播一边讨论芦荟的好处，一边吃她的“芦荟盛宴”。

However, the woman didn't realise that she was actually consuming Agave Americana, a poisonous plant from Mexico, according to local reports.

然而，根据当地的报道，该女子并没有意识到她实际上吃的是墨西哥的龙舌兰，这一种有毒植物。



A video of the live show has been recorded and circulated on the internet by various Chinese websites, including qq.com.

该视频在包括腾讯在内的各个网站上流传。

At the beginning of the video, Ms Zhang is heard saying 'yum' and 'this is great'. But soon afterwards, things took a turn and she realised there was a problem. 

在视频开始时，可以听到张女士说“好吃”和“这很棒”。但事情很快发生了转变，她意识到这东西有问题。

'That's bitter... that's really bitter,' she said as the clip progressed. 

随着视频的进行，“这是苦的…真的很苦”她说道。



The Shanghaiist reported that Ms Zhang was actually consuming Agave Americana, a 'poisonous plant from Mexico'.

”上海人“报报道，张实际上吃的是龙舌兰，一种来自美洲墨西哥的有毒植物。

Live-streaming websites and apps are big business in China. 

直播网址和直播应用在中国是一项很大的业务。

The country has nearly 200 live-stream websites and apps, which attract some 200 million users, according to recent statistics. 

根据最新的统计数据，中国有近200个直播网站和应用程序，吸引了大约2亿用户。

During peak hours, around four million internet users tune in at the same time to watch their favourite internet hosts performing. 

在高峰时段，大约有四百万的互联网用户收看他们最喜欢的主播的视频。

Internet hosts, mainly young women, hope to gain fame and fortune by filming their daily activities - from singing to dancing to eating - through a webcam in front of a live online audience.

网络主播，主要是年轻的女性，她们希望通过在观众面前通过网络摄像头拍摄日常活动——从唱歌到跳舞到吃东西——来获得名声和财富。

Views are able to interact with the hosts by instant messaging. They are also able to send them digital gifts, which can be converted into cash by the hosts. 

观众可以通过即时消息和主播交流。他们还可以向她们发送数字礼物，这些礼物可以由主播兑换成现金。

According to Cornell University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the Agave Americana has 'several toxic compounds'. 

根据康奈尔大学农业和生命科学学院的研究，龙舌兰包含着几种有毒化合物。

'It contains the incredibly irritating calcium oxylate raphides (microscopic daggers of crystaline oxylate) as well as some other really irritating oils in the sap,' they explain.

他们解释道，龙舌兰含有大量刺激性氧化硫酸钾以及其他一些非常具有刺激性的汁。

The aspiring vlogger's mouth then went numb and her throat felt as though it was on 'fire'. She cut off the live stream and went to the hospital.

这名”励志“的主播的嘴很快就麻木了，喉咙好像是'着了火一样'。她切断了网络直播，然后去了医院。

In the hospital, she was told by the doctors that she had been eating Agave Americana, not aloe vera. 

在医院，医生告知她吃吃的是龙舌兰，而不是芦荟。

The doctors also said that she was lucky to have gone to the hospital quickly enough, otherwise the consequences could be serious, according to Chinese newspaper Chongqing Times. 

医生还说，她很幸运，因为她及时去了医院，否则后果可能很严重，据重庆时报报道。

Despite the drama, Ms Zhang is reported to be in a stable condition now.

尽管事情很戏剧性，据报道张女士目前情况稳定。

The plant Zhang thought she was eating, aloe vera, is commonly consumed both cooked and raw. 

张女士以为她吃的是芦荟，这种植物通常认为可以煮熟或生吃。

According to Livestrong, the meat inside the leaves and the natural gel are both edible and are often used on salads or in drinks for a 'refreshing taste'. 

根据LIVESTRONG，芦荟的叶片内部的肉和天然凝胶都是可食用的，通常用在沙拉或饮料上产生口感清爽的感觉。

'Aloe is considered safe for oral consumption, but because it has a natural laxative effect, long-term, regular consumption is not advised,' they explain.

同时他解释道：”芦荟被认为口服是安全的，但因为它具有天然的泻药作用，所以经常或长期食用。”

Ms Zhang is one of the thousands of vloggers in China who make a living by live-streaming their daily activities. They're known as internet hosts.
The Chinese live-streaming industry, which attracts some 200 million viewers, is competitive. 

张女士是中国千千万万以直播日常活动来赚钱的主播之一。她们被称为网络主播。中国的直播媒体产业吸引了大约2亿观众，非常具有竞争力。

Internet hosts would do whatever they could to get viewers' attention.

网络直播会尽其所能吸引观众注意力。

Was this video that short originally? The titel is wrong then 'cos you can't actually see poisonig only that she bites the plant.

这个短片原来是短片吗？如果是的话那这个题目就是错的，因为你只看见了她咬这个植物，并没有看到她中毒。

Export it to Chy na and make it part of their staple diet.

出口（龙舌兰）到中国，让它成为他们的日常饮食的一部分。

The tiny spikes contained in the agave aren't poisonous, they just stab your throat and tongue if you try to eat them and can make your tongue swell up so you suffocate. What a fool lol

在龙舌兰不是有毒的而是含有微小的刺，当你想要吃它们时，这些刺可以让你的舌头肿起来并让你窒息。真是个傻瓜！哈哈哈哈
