上西區驚見致命毒草曼陀羅 公園局急拔除

上周在曼哈頓上西城發現有迷幻作用、俗稱「曼陀羅」(jimson weed)的野生植物,於10日上午終被連根拔起。它含有劇毒,少量就足以致命。

前市公園局長班尼普(Adrian Benepe),7日在哥倫布大道夾93街的栽種盆上,發現這株長著綠葉和白色喇叭花的植物,有數呎高。班尼普表示,過去幾年,他在市內多個地方發現曼陀羅,包括在雀兒喜碼頭附近。他指出,這是一種可隨機傳播的植物,它會在沒有人打理的土壤生長。它的種子藉著風吹,或動物的糞便傳播,尤其是鳥類。

根據布魯克林植物園的網站資料,這種茂盛的植物在夏末開始盛放,它是茄屬植物家族的一部分。該植物園表示,曼陀羅的所有部分都有毒,尤其是種子。它含有大量生物鹼化合物,如果攝入,可能會引起驚厥、產生幻覺、甚至死亡。而動物往往會避開曼陀羅。

醫療衛生網站WebMD稱,自殖民時代以來,民眾一直把曼陀羅用作醫藥,它是一種能引起幻覺和快感的消遣性藥物,但攝入或吸入過量會造成危險。科學新聞網站LiveScience 2013年的一則報導指出,曼陀羅在海地被稱為「殭屍黃瓜」,並且與巫毒教中使人變成殭屍的事件有關。

上西區居民對當局任由這種植物生長,大感憤怒。班尼普表示,雖然它是一種美麗的植物,但構成潛在風險,特別是對好奇的兒童。
