Bottle Gourd Toxicity: Tahira Kashyap drank THIS green concoction and landed in ICU

Sometimes we don’t pay heed to small details and unfortunately, such ignorance can be almost deadly. And a horrendous incident experienced by Tahira Kashyap proves the same. Kashyap took to her Instagram to share how she recently suffered from Bottle Gourd Toxicity and created awareness about it. She revealed that she was admitted to the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) for two days after suffering from bottle gourd (lauki) aka Dhudhi) toxicity. Ayushmann Khurana’s wife, in a clip, shared her painful ordeal and requested her followers to not drink the juice if it tastes bitter as it can be life-threatening.

The writer shared that she drank bitter lauki juice and her body reacted adversely. After 17 bouts of vomiting her blood pressure plummeted to 40. She also shared in the video that her doctor told her that drinking bitter bottle gourd juice is “nearly cyanide.”

In the caption, she wrote, “PLS LISTEN TO THIS! Instagram is an amazing platform for spreading awareness! Pls, read about BOTTLE GOURD TOXICITY! I might be sounding all sorted and cool in this video that I made from my set, but I was in deep sh#%! Sharing deets as doctors also asked me to spread the awareness around too.
