A 26-year-old Chinese health vlogger, named Zhang, poisoned herself on live camera after she accidently consumed Agave Americana (a poisonous plant) thinking that it was Aloe Vera. The livestream of the event was cut short as Zhang rushed to the hospital, where she is said to be in stable condition.

In the video, Zhang can be heard saying “Yum, this is great,” as she takes a bite of the plant.

Agave Americana, a poisonous plant from Mexico, looks similar to Aloe vera, but contains calcium oxalate crystals and other toxic components.

According to reports, Zhang was told that she got to the hospital just in time.
