The term ‘Xue Feng Shou Hou’ is very terrifying, especially in martial arts dramas, where there is a traditional martial art that has reached the realm of ‘Xue Feng Shou Hou’. In fact, this word also has another meaning, that is, the name of a type of poison. Because of its strong side effects, it can easily cause the blood to coagulate, leading to poisoning and death, hence the name ‘Xue Feng Shou Hou’.

However, in addition to chronic poison, there is also a type of plant called ‘Xue Feng Shou Hou’ (Seal Blood to Silence) in nature, because the sap of this tree contains a very terrifying poison, which can cause fatal damage to humans or animals. According to statistics, the real name of the ‘Xue Feng Shou Hou’ tree is actually ‘poison箭毒木’.

These plants and trees are a type of plant commonly found in rainforests and sub-tropical forests. Among them, the poison箭毒木 living in the rainforest is highly toxic and grows vigorously. At an altitude of 1500 meters and below, it provides a very suitable growth environment, which allows the height of the poison箭毒木 in this area to reach 25-40 meters, and the diameter can reach 30-100 cm.

So, what are the side effects of the poison箭毒木? It is said that poison箭毒木 was once called ‘the most toxic plant and tree in the world’. Their branches have a milky white sap similar to milk, sticky and thick, looking harmless, but in fact this kind of milk-like sap is toxic. If the human lips or eyes accidentally come into contact with this toxic agent, the heart will stop breathing immediately, or the eyes will go blind at a moment’s notice.

In addition, if this harmful sap comes into contact with a wound on the body, then at this moment, the human blood vessels will close, and all the blood in the body will coagulate, and gradually the person will lose vital signs and die. It is said that in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, a member of the Dai ethnic group climbed a mountain to hunt and was chased by a bear. At a time when there was no way to go, he climbed a tree and broke off a branch that reached into the bear’s mouth, and the bear died immediately.

After this, these harmful plants and trees were discovered. As for the harmful sap of the poison箭毒木, people have fully utilized its original function, which is to use this toxic tree sap for hunting. When encountering more difficult-to-deal-with predators, this kind of arrow is used to kill them. Therefore, if the prey is shot with an arrow, there is absolutely no possibility of survival, which is beneficial to the survival and development of humans.
