There are many beautiful birds on earth. But do you know some of them are very dangerous? One such bird looks harmless at first sight but is very dangerous. All must have seen it often seen on the parapets and balconies of your homes. Can you guess the bird? It is none other than a quail. It is found in many places in India and around the world. But among these, one species is considered quite poisonous. It is called the common quail.
The common quail is a type of wild bird that lives on the ground. They cannot fly for very long distances and live in nests. Their meat is considered to be very tasty, which is why people like to hunt them. These birds are mostly seen in all of Europe, North Africa, and West Asia. Although this bird looks innocent, it is said to be very poisonous and harmful.
According to the reports, since ancient times, people have been consuming quail, but its consumption is considered to be very harmful to health. Its subspecies (Coturnix coturnix) is said to be very poisonous to humans. Actually, during winter migration, quail like to eat certain plants, which are said to be poisonous. This poison remains in their body and if it reaches a human body, it can make one sick.
According to scientists, there is a risk of rhabdomyolysis due to this poison. It is a condition that causes muscles to break down and further leads to muscle death which causes unbearable pain. There are also symptoms like vomiting and nausea, which can sometimes lead to kidney failure. This could even prove to be fatal at times. This poison dissolves in body fat and can be fatal. A few days ago, a piece of news came into the limelight where the common quail poison spread to a 12-year-old child, and after staying in the ICU for 8 days, he somehow managed to survive.
