Chinese herbal poisoning
Following three recent cases of poisoning by a highly toxic Chinese herb, Gwai Kuo, sold as Wai Ling Sin, a spokesman for the Department of Health today (Wednesday) urged members of the public to seek proper advice before using it.
"They should consult Chinese herbal practitioners and avoid self-medication," the spokesman said.
"Wholesalers and retailers of Chinese herbs are asked to check carefully their stock of Wai Ling Sin to make sure that it had not been contaminated by Gwai Kuo, a herb for external use." he added.
The spokesman said subsequent investigation revealed that Gwai Kuo sold as Wai Ling Sin was included in the Chinese herbal medicine consumed by the three victims. They fell ill within hours of consumption of the medicine and were admitted to Tuen Mun Hospital.
