n“I have bad news. I feel that my wound is inflamed. I have to treat it in time. Otherwise, it will quickly fester and even cause sepsis. We have to find a plant that can reduce inflammation.”

n

nBell pointed at the green plants beside him.

n

n“In the Amazon rainforest, there are as many as 80,000 species of plants. Many of them are rare herbs that can help us survive.

n

nOf course, the prerequisite is that you have to recognize these plants. ”

n

n“There are too many plants here. There are even some species that have yet to be studied.

n

nTherefore, you have to have rich knowledge to distinguish them.

n

nThis is also a vital skill for a survivalist. Otherwise, if you use the wrong plants, they can kill you. ”

n

nAs he spoke, Bell walked to a tree about six meters tall.

n

nThis tree had very lush leaves and looked full of vitality.

n

nOf course, this was not what really attracted Bell’s attention.

n

nWhat really attracted his attention were fruits the size of a baby’s fist at the end of the tree branches.

n

nThe green fruit looked full and delicious.

n

nBell went forward and picked a fruit, but he did not eat it directly. Instead, he placed it in front of the camera and said.

n

n“In this rainforest, if you are hungry and see trees with fruits, you will probably eat them happily.

n

nBut if you really do that, your relatives will be eating your funeral banquet.”

n

nBell pried open the fruit and held it in his hand, trying his best not to touch the juice.

n

n“This tree is called manchineel. After Columbus arrived in America, a crew member accidentally ate this manchineel fruit and died on the spot.

n

nSeeing this, Columbus called it the apple of death.

n

nThe manchineel is actually one of the most toxic trees. As long as you take a small bite of the fruit, you will have to be admitted to the emergency room. ”

n

nWith that, Bell threw the fruit to the side and pointed at the unplucked green fruits on the tree.

n

n“Actually, when you see these unknown fruits in the wild, there is a way to tell if these fruits can be eaten.

n

nIt is to observe if there are any traces of these fruits being pecked by birds.

n

nGenerally speaking, we can eat fruits that have been pecked by birds.

n

nAlthough some of them might be poisonous, it would not be very strong.

n

nThere are also monkeys in the Amazon rainforest. They live here and mostly eat fruits.

n

nMonkey’s digestive system is similar to ours, so we can follow them to find food.

n

nWe can eat what they eat without worry.”

n

n“Also, observe the color of these fruits. Sometimes, plants and animals are similar. The brighter they are, the more dangerous they are. This is also a self-protection ability evolved from natural selection.

n

nThere are many birds and monkeys in the rainforest. Only this tree has a lot of fruits with no signs of them being plucked or pecked. With a little deduction, we can tell its edibility. ”

n

nHearing Bell’s explanation, the audience in the live-stream looked at the green fruits on the tree.

n

n“It’s so dangerous outside. I’d better stay at home.”

n

n“Bell’s knowledge reserve is really shocking.”

n

n“As expected, people don’t die if they don’t court death. Nothing will happen at home.”

n

nBell looked at the comments in the live-stream and shook his head with a smile.

n

nAfter leaving the tree, Bell continued to search the dense rainforest.

n

nLogically speaking, plants that could clear heat had some antiseptic effect.

n

nHowever, the antiseptic effect differed in intensity.

n

nFor example, mint also had an antiseptic effect, but the effect was minimal.

n

nThe air in the rainforest was extremely hot, and Bell felt uncomfortable all over.

n

nIt felt like he was in a sauna.

n

nBell felt dizzy looking at the lush vegetation on the ground.

n

nBut he still had to search hard.

n

nAt this moment, Bell’s eyes lit up and he quickly walked forward.

n

nIn an open space ahead, an aloe vera was growing on the ground.

n

nHe walked over and bent down to take a look.

n

n“This is an aloe vera.

n

nI’ve introduced some effects of it in the desert episode before.

n

nIn the natural world, aloe vera has a very strong antibacterial effect.

n

nMoreover, the aloe vera can stimulate the healing of the wound.

n

nWhether it’s eating it or applying it, both work very well. ”

n

nAt this point, Bell paused.

n

n“But this is not something we can just take at face value.

n

nThere are more than 300 species of aloe vera on Earth alone.

n

nThere are only five types of aloe vera that can be eaten with ease and has medicinal value.

n

nThe rest are poisonous plants. Once these poisonous aloe vera juice touches the skin, it will cause the skin to rot.

n

nIf you swallow them, your stomach can ulcerate, and you might even suffer from cancer. ”

n

n“As for how to identify whether the aloe vera is poisonous, we mainly have to observe their leaves.

n

nPoisonous aloe vera often have shorter leaves and are thicker than the edible species.

n

nAfter meeting these conditions, you can try to cut the leaves. If there is milky white liquid inside, this is poisonous aloe vera. ”

n

nAs he spoke, Bell had already cut off the aloe vera.

n

nA smile appeared on Bell’s face.

n

n“Our luck has finally improved. This is a non-poisonous aloe vera, and it’s the best anti-inflammatory as well as antibacterial aloe vera.

n

nWe can apply this aloe vera to the wound. ”

n

nBell cut off a leaf and removed the skin, leaving only the tender flesh.

n

nBell took a bite and chewed.

n

n“The taste seems to be good. There’s nothing strange about it. It’s sticky and a little sweet.

n

nMoreover, there is a fragrance. ”

n

nThe entire leaf was quickly eaten.

n

nBell stopped eating. He cut off another piece and cut the middle into thin slices to apply to his wound.

n

nOf course, before doing this, Bell tore off the scabs on the surface of his wound.

n

nThere was no need to mention the pain.

n

nAfter applying it to the wound, a cool feeling spread.

n

nBell tore off a piece of cloth from under his T-shirt and bandaged the wound.

n

nAfter doing all this, Bell stood up.

n

nBell heaved a sigh of relief after putting the remaining aloe vera leaves in his backpack.

n

n“The effect is very good, and the itchy feeling on the wound is already fading.

n

nMoreover, the coolness from the aloe makes me feel very comfortable.”
