Wolfberry has been known to almost everyone since childhood, especially those who grew up or often visited the countryside. Wolf's eye or wolfberry looks like a currant - the fruits are small, round in shape. The berries themselves are red or black, depending on the type of plant. Now there is a huge hype around useful berry goji, which is used for a variety of purposes - treatment, weight loss, strengthening immunity. Wolfberry and goji have nothing in common, they are confused due to similar names - wolfberry (goji), a shrub originally from China, we know it under the name "common dereza", so you can not confuse it with a wolfberry.
Wolfberry - what is it
Why is the wolfberry so called? Everything is very simple, the name did not come from the fact that wolves or other forest animals feed on this bush. It’s just that the name has come from the old times, when the designation “wolf” meant everything evil, dangerous and harmful. Thus, everyone has known about the dangers of these berries for a very long time.
Wolfberry grows everywhere, found in the forests of America, as well as throughout Europe. Very common in central Russia, the Caucasus and Siberia. What does a wolfberry look like? Its description and properties can be found in any school biology textbook. The bush blooms very beautifully, the smell is intoxicating. By the way, thrushes love to feast on these berries. It is this bird that is the main seed carrier.
Privet is a small shrub on which round and small berries ripen. The shrub in the spring blooms very violently and beautifully, thanks to its small size(up to 5 m) is successfully used in landscape design. By autumn, the fruits ripen, and this is the mistake of many - they begin to be collected and used for food, to prepare teas and infusions. It is absolutely impossible to do this, because berries are poisonous and can cause not only poisoning, but also lead to death. Therefore, if you are interested in the question - is it possible to eat wolf berries - the answer is categorical - no!
Why are berries dangerous?
What happens if you eat a wolfberry? Almost 100% you can get poisoning and indigestion, but everything, of course, will depend on the amount. The fact is that the fruits contain solanine - the strongest poison, which provokes poisoning. If you do not provide first aid in a timely manner, do not call an ambulance, then a fatal outcome will be inevitable. About five berries can cause death.
Not only the fruits themselves are poisonous, but the entire shrub as a whole - branches, leaves. Thus, it is better not to touch the plant at all, but to admire it only from afar.
The composition of berries and bark contains a number of substances that cause poisoning. The main components are meserein, daphnetin, daphnin glycoside, coumarin. In almost all cases, poisoning does not go away without a trace, even after the treatment, various complications may occur, so it is very important to take all measures in a timely manner.
The wolf's bast berry causes severe poisoning, if you made a mistake and ate it, then the symptoms will be as follows:
- sensation of a burn of a mouth and all mucous;
- nausea, vomiting;
- profuse salivation, there may be difficulty in swallowing;
- diarrhea;
- eye inflammation, lacrimation;
- convulsions, general weakness are possible.
Wolfberry poisoning is severe, the degree will depend on the amount of fruit consumed. In its course, such poisoning has the form of hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, death occurs mainly due to cardiac arrest.
If the juice of the plant gets on the skin, a burn or redness appears. With prolonged contact with the skin, the development of tumor-like destruction on the epidermis is quite possible. It is dangerous even to be near flowering plant- inhalation of pollen irritates the mucous membranes.
What to do in case of wolfberry poisoning
If a child or an adult ate a wolfberry, then you must immediately call an ambulance and take first aid measures.. First of all, it is necessary to remove the source of poisoning from the body, that is, induce vomiting. Suitable for this weak solution potassium permanganate (liquid should be light pink, not deep purple!). You can give the victim activated charcoal or any other sorbent. If possible, give the victim a cleansing enema.
Berry poisoning can cause convulsions and cardiac arrest. If there are heart preparations in the first-aid kit, it is necessary to give them to the patient following the recommendations and the correct dosage. After providing first aid, it is necessary to force the person to lie down, take a calm position and wait for the ambulance to arrive. In almost all cases, hospitalization and further inpatient treatment follow.
The whole wolfberry bush is poisonous, so if the juice gets on the skin or if the plant just scratched you, you need to wash the place with an antiseptic solution, if there is nothing at hand, potassium permanganate will do.
The dangers of using privet should be clear to everyone, it is especially important to convey this information to children. If you are planning a trip to the forest or live in the countryside, do not forget to tell your children about all the dangers that are fraught with attractive and tasty-looking berries. In addition to privet, there are many other plants, the touch of which can already carry unpleasant consequences.
Beneficial features
Many poisonous plants have beneficial features, but they must be able to use them correctly, otherwise it is very dangerous for life and can lead to unpredictable consequences.
Privet has long been used in conventional and traditional medicine for the treatment of various diseases:
- of cardio-vascular system;
- kidneys and liver;
- neuroses and mental disorders;
- eye;
- joints.
Due to their toxicity, shrub products are not used in official medicine, but are used exclusively in homeopathy. Among the people, tinctures and decoctions from this plant are used to treat bronchitis, pneumonia, and colds. Privet has proven itself very well in folk medicine for the treatment of skin diseases.
Prepared tinctures and decoctions are never taken internally, they are used for rubbing, rinsing, lotions.
Plant blanks are made in the summer - branches, leaves are collected, roots are dug out. In autumn, you can harvest the fruits of the shrub.
It is worth remembering that in the event of any disease, self-treatment can be dangerous, especially if you prepare homemade tinctures and poisons from toxic plants. Remember that the plant contains a dangerous and poisonous substance, which even in small doses leads to heart failure, can cause cardiac arrest and death.
Application in everyday life
Privet has proven itself as a poison for agricultural needs. With its help, infusions are prepared against Colorado potato beetles and other pests.. Such a poison is only suitable for root crops, spray it with other plants and fruit trees highly discouraged, especially immediately before collection. It is best to spray in the spring, when the leaves are just beginning to form, there is no flowering and fruit. The use of such poison in a summer cottage can be compared with the use of simple chemicals Therefore, care must also be taken to use a mask and rubber gloves when spraying.
Previously, ink was made from black privet berries. Wolfberry is quite often found on suburban areas and in urban areas as a hedge. The shrub is quite dense, with beautiful leaves and lush bloom.

Now several varieties of common privet are artificially bred specifically for hedges. They can differ in color (during flowering), height, care features. In most cases, no special care is required - timely watering and pruning.
Thanks to the Internet and the spread of information about the miraculous goji berries, many people have already encountered an unpleasant situation - a mistake in collecting wolfberries instead of dereza. Keep in mind that real goji berries grow exclusively in the provinces of China. Some gardeners even grow these shrubs at home, but this is a long and laborious process. Dereza shrub in wild environment It is also quite rare, but in our territories it is the dangerous and poisonous privet that is most often found, the use of which can lead to death.

It will be possible to wash the affected areas of the skin with a solution of potassium permanganate. Further treatment will be prescribed by a dermatologist.
Hazardous Ingredients
If we consider the composition of wolf berries, then the main substance there will be meserine. This substance is very toxic, causes irritation of the mucous membrane and skin. Other components of the wolfberry cause severe bleeding, so in the villages, healers gave a decoction of berries to women who wanted to terminate a pregnancy ... often at the cost of own life.

Summer is a time of rest in the country, in the forest. Some plants in your area are harmless, while others can be deadly poisonous. Today we would like to consider the wolfberry: to study its beneficial properties, as well as dispel some myths.
Since childhood, my grandmother told us about toxic properties wolfberry. However, few people know that there are several varieties of such berries. For example, Belladonna is poisonous kind, while Dereza vulgaris is not. Thus, wolfberry is a collective folk name that includes many varieties of the plant. Also poisonous are Wolfberry and raven eye. or dizziness can be Brittle buckthorn and Snowberry. The honeysuckle plant is not poisonous.
In addition to the previously written, other inedible plants that have a specific color, for example, bright red, are often referred to as wolfberries. Thus, red elderberry and some types of black elderberry are also in some way wolfberry.
A low shrub with small red berries that look a lot like goji is a standard wolfberry. It is this plant that is most often presented during the stories of parents or grandmothers.
Beneficial features
As already noted, only two types of wolfberry are not poisonous - Dereza and real honeysuckle. However, only the fruits of the first shrub are suitable for consumption. Decoctions and teas are made from these berries, they are discussed below.
It is very difficult to get a wolfberry in Russia. Its habitat is Ukraine, the Caucasus and Moldova. But, if you manage to buy Dereza somewhere, you will forever forget what a cold, runny nose, etc. is, because this plant strengthens the immune system, making the body more resistant to diseases.
Other types of wolfberries cannot boast of such properties, but they can become useful in the household. From poisonous fruit some gardeners make poison for pests. It is worth noting that these are quite effective, but do not differ much from purchased substances: store-bought poisons and those made on their own harm the garden. It is categorically impossible to touch the wolfberry remedy: if it gets into even the smallest wound, it causes poisoning, moreover, quite serious.
Plants that have an attractive appearance are used to decorate the summer cottage and garden. For example, privet will perfectly complement landscape design, forming a living fence.
Some types of wolfberry are used in medicine for making. And in Nepal, local firms produce paper from wolf bast.
Thus, poisonous fruits, although unfit for consumption, have become an integral part of industry and decor.

The color of the wolf's bast is peculiar: the berries are dark, they may have purple hue. Also distinguishing feature- the surface of the fruit is glossy. In this regard, it is impossible to confuse a plant with dereza.
The berries contain solanine - a very strong poison. If you eat a dozen fruits, then a person will experience dizziness, indigestion, weakness, vomiting, and impaired coordination of movements. But a large dosage can kill, moreover, in a short time.
There is also a wolfberry with red fruits. They strongly resemble goji, but are identical in properties to black fruits. Very often, citizens who want to lose weight go in search of local ones.
