#VIDEO: Blogger eats venomous plant during live broadcast

Panicked woman abandons live stream after realising 'aloe vera' leaf she's eating is actually rare poisonous plant The poison desert plant from the Americas, which resembles aloe vera, is sold in China as an ornament, and its likeness to aloe vera is thought to have fooled the woman. In footage of the live broadcast, Zhang can be heard saying: "This is great. Yum." But viewers sensed something was wrong when she added: "Oh, that's bitter. That is really bitter." Zhang, who is still recovering in hospital, later claimed her mouth went "numb" and she felt like her throat was "on fire". She also "lost her voice" after three bites of the agave Americana and immediately took herself to hospital, abandoning the live stream entirely. Doctors found that she had also been suffering from severe rashes and blisters, and later pumped her stomach to remove the harmful substances from her body.
