With the end of summer and the transition to the fall and winter season, many of us are planning to go on trips in the diverse nature of Israel. But alongside the beauty and charm, it is important to know the dangers lurking in nature, including poisonous plants, venomous animals and invasive species.
poisonous plants
In general, Israel is not a tropical country, so the number of poisonous plants and animals there is relatively small. However, there are several important species to be aware of:
- cuckoo – A tree with deadly seeds that produces a poison called ricin. Avoid touching and eating it.
Datura - a poisonous plant known as the "witch plant". In the past it was used to create medicine, but it is very dangerous.
medical uncle - His roots look like a pair of lovers, and in legends he is attributed special abilities. However, it is also toxic and should therefore be avoided.
Israeli Havalov – Another invasive plant to watch out for.
It is important to note that all of the above plants may be dangerous even if they do not appear to be dangerous.
poisonous animals
Animals such as snakes and insects may also be dangerous in the Israeli nature. Especially pay attention to insects with warning colors, such as beetles that have the ability to secrete a poisonous spray for protection.
as well, the ash is a poisonous fish observed in the Mediterranean Sea. He is very dangerous and has no serum. Although it appeared, one should be careful before making decisions based on reports.
Invading species
In Israel there are many invasive species, both of plants and animals. For example, the Indian myna and the cockatiel, which are harmful to the local ecology. Invasive species often harm the local biodiversity, so they must be known and beware of.
Emergency treatment
In case of poisoning, sting or bite, it is important to seek professional help. Rambam Hospital has an institute that specializes in treating such cases, with drives available 24/7. Any questions or problems in this area should be directed to the National Institute for Information on Poisoning.
Summary
Finally, when you go out into the Israeli nature, remember that the sun and nature are inviting, but you must be aware of the dangers that may hide in them. Knowing the poisonous and invasive plants and animals will help you keep yourself safe and enjoy nature in a correct and safe way.
Your posting about poisonous bushes, flowers, trees, and fish is very important. I just want to tell you that when we were children in the area where I grew up, there were quite a lot of castor trees. As children, we used its fruit to make necklaces that hung around our necks, bracelets, etc. We didn't eat it or put it in our mouths for some reason, but nothing happened to us from contact with the fruit. We passed a thread through the fruit And a lot of needles. I assume that some of the children put their hands in their mouths in the process. Of course not me because "unclean hands are not put in their mouths". So how do you explain that?
Happy New Year Norit
Unfortunately, I have also done such nonsense.
If someone were to chew the fruit his condition would be dire.
And yes, it's kind of a miracle that nothing happened because it's really deadly rat poison.
And following this article, some wrote to me that they had thrown such chains and it was already worth writing about.
Happy and wonderful year
Forgot to bring the 3-4 most dangerous poisonous plants. And other plants he photographed and did not give their names. Rambam's poison center wants money for everything, there is no free information there. And as for sturgeon, the Indians discovered a long time ago how to neutralize the poison and kill goat calves and chickens with it without anything happening to them. Even in the sea, many sea cats, manta rays, sea urchins will be forgotten. Even those who do not have allergies They will get sick if they eat oysters from Haifa Bay.
Happy New Year, dear Berry, I didn't understand the question.
interesting But where one might meet these things is the main topic that talks about going out into nature. Where is this nature?

This article provides very important information that is relevant to many people!
I will continue to follow your wonderful addresses, that we may know better times.
Thanks Motti, as usual interesting, waiting and even scary... This time you also added important botanical information. Basically, don't pick or caress, nature is charming, look, enjoy and photograph.
Only health and safety.
Wow, a fascinating article. And very important to us, our families and our children. What would we do without you, dear Motti to us. An athlete with rare knowledge. The champion of champions and the photos are amazing.

Thank you very much Or.
For your information, as children there were those who wove necklaces from the castor seeds.
Even chewing them can cause death.
This is an effective tool
Amateur and charlatan article!!!
Instead of rambling idle statements without any professional explanation of the nature of the danger, methods of prevention and first aid. The respected writer gave names and vetoed no!! A pot of boiling oil and a wet floor are also a danger. Why didn't you mention them?
Daniel reading comprehension.
It says to contact the poisoning department in Rambam.
If you are interested in depth, go to my scientific net address in National Historic.
I am not the story. You brought material to the public's attention, so let it be with basic detail
Muti, as always you keep me glued to the screen, so fascinating.
It's exciting to meet creatures that I have no chance of meeting, all thanks to you.
As for dangerous intruders…
Going for 2 (not birds). They are the irreversible damage of nature.
Shabbat Shalom Nitza
Thank you very much, and yes you are right, nature harms us less than man.... but nature is very strong and it recovers even if the reaction time is many years.
Wonderful week
Nature scares me less! People with poison scare me... There are crime families in Israel who poison people in restaurants and hospitals at the behest of various crime figures! They managed to poison my mother to death in a hospital, I was also poisoned in a restaurant in Tiberias! The problem is that the Israeli police ... do not investigate poisonings of people like they do in many countries! Amnon Dehkner, the CEO of Maariv, was apparently poisoned and there is a list of good people who were poisoned to death! I am less afraid of a poison that grows in nature, I am more afraid of people who, at the invitation of crime families, poison even the Satanic sect of Israel
Detail what exactly happened with your mother and what happened with you in Tiberias. And with Dankner. And how do we know that these are just false imaginings.
Thanks.
Hi Elizosh
There is that in Haifa and Kiryat.
Wonderful week
Hi Muti
A beautiful reminder of what surrounds us in nature, both in the people and on land.
Thanks
Thank you very much. and Shabbat Delum
