In daily life, colchicine poisoning can be prevented by paying attention to diet. For example, when consuming daylily flowers (Huanghuacai), they should be cooked or boiled thoroughly before eating to prevent colchicine poisoning—take care to protect yourself. Additionally, if symptoms of colchicine poisoning occur, seek medical treatment at a hospital promptly and avoid self-medicating with drugs arbitrarily, which may delay proper treatment. It's also important in daily life to maintain a balanced diet, ensure adequate rest, and engage in moderate physical exercise to promote overall health.
