Man får hortensiaer kastet i nakken i de fleste havecentre/planteskoler på denne årstid, så jeg tvivler godt nok på at man kan inddrive 100,- for en stikling. De steder jeg har hørt om, er planterne høstet i ca. 10cm højde med et vandret snit. Det er selvfølgeligt muligt at jeg tager fejl, men det virker nu underligt i mine øre at det skulle være for stiklinger.
Mht rusen af hortensia, eller egentligt af de cyanogene glykosider planten indeholder, er her en beskrivelse:
Citat:
In humans, the clinical signs of acute cyanide intoxication include rapid respiration, drop in blood pressure, rapid pulse, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, mental confusion, twitching and convulsions. Death due to cyanide poisoning can occur when the cyanide level exceeds the limit an individual is able to detoxify. The acute lethal dose of hydrogen cyanide for humans is reported to be 0.5 to 3.5 mg per kilogram of body weight. Children are particularly at risk because of their smaller body size.
Chronic cyanide intoxication may lead to the development of certain conditions including disturbance of thyroid function and neurological disorders. It tends to affect those individuals who have regular long-term consumption of cassava with poor nutrition status
