What do you know about the world's most poisonous tree growing on the south coast of India?


Chennai, July 30, 2020, Thursday

Every plant and herb on earth has some medicinal properties. Life without vegetation is unimaginable. However, in some countries of South East Asia, including India, it has been nicknamed the Suicide Tree because of the poisonous tree called Sarbera odolam. This tree is as dangerous as it looks green and attractive. In addition to its fruits, flowers and leaves, the seeds also contain a toxic element called cerberine which can kill a person instantly.

Even a normal dose of it can cause stomach upset, pain, and vomiting. The heartbeat seems to be irregular. In addition, no medication or treatment is effective. It is as if the poison is injected into the body. The most surprising thing is that if one eats the fruit by mistake, the medical examination does not even notice it. Botanists and researchers believe that this is the most dangerous tree in the world. The venom of this tree has been compared to the venom of a cobra. Every month 4 people die from poisoning this suicide tree.


Patients suffering from depression use this tree to shorten their lives. More than 3% of them are women. The tree bears green flowers like white flowers and guavas. The tree is 10 meters tall. It is called Othalanga in Kerala. In Thailand this tree is called Pong Pog. Its scientific name is Sarbera odolum. Found in the south west coast of India and in Kerala. The tree was discovered in Madagascar in the 16th century and killed thousands of people. Its seeds contain the most toxins. This tree does not need special care. It grows naturally in adverse conditions and weather and does not take long to develop.

Image
Taking advantage of Twitter company's name change and other major upheavals last year, Meta Company launched a new social platform ' Threads ' almost like Twitter. When the Threads service launched in July 2023, it was launched along the lines of the already hugely popular Instagram to give it a large user base from the start. Hence, if we have an Instagram account, we can sign-up in the threads from it and the Instagram username and followers are also added to the threads. Due to this the threads got a very fast growth initially. In the first month itself , in fact in the first five days, the number of its users reached the mark of 10 crores.

IIT researchers develop real-time underwater marine robot, eases deep-sea surveillance

Image
image : Envato and Twitter Real-time underwater marine robot: Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi and Palakkad have achieved a tremendous achievement in developing real-time underwater marine robot for underwater surveillance. The function of this robot will be close underwater monitoring and verification. Its level of efficacy would be very high, risk would be extremely low and it would likely be cost-effective, the researchers said. Jagdish Kadian, assistant professor at the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics at IIT Mandi, said that learning about the ocean's internal currents from history led to the conclusion that only by placing instruments on research ships deep can one gain more insight into the ocean. Kadian, a co-author of the study, said that a typical cruise ship stays on the surface for a month or two, limiting the possibility of producing a comprehensive report on the sea. So it has often been said that changes in the sea do not wait for a ship ...
