Over 10 years, poison control centers have recorded 48 cases of poisoning linked to this type of consumption. Laboratory analysis of wild asparagus samples revealed the presence of &#8220;numerous calcium oxalate raphides, microscopic crystals known for their irritating effect,&#8221; according to Anses. &#8220;During the same meal, some consumers were affected and others were not, suggesting individual sensitivity.&#8221;<\/main>This perennial plant, known as Pyrenean Ornithogale, has very little in common with cultivated asparagus, apart from the soft green spike that crowns its flowering stem.
