7. Emergency Poison Antidote
One surprising benefit of milk thistle is treating poisoning. Every year, thousands of people suffer from mushroom poisoning. It occurs when a patient ingested or consumed mushrooms that contain toxic substances causing mild to extreme adverse effects and in some cases, death. Milk thistle’s antioxidant properties are not only beneficial for preventing diseases, but it may also help in protecting organs from sudden poisoning.
Some studies proved that silybum marianum neutralizes the deadly effects of lethal mushrooms when it is taken within 10 minutes of poisoning. It is important to seek immediate medical attention when this happens as statistics show that it may cause death within 10 days if left untreated.
