There are many oaks in the boreal jungle. Where there are oaks, there are acorns. Although acorns have a bad taste, they are rich in starch.

When the poorest, grandparents and grandparents used to eat young stems and leaves and underground rhizomes, although the taste was very bad. Second, to treat poisonous snake bites, take fresh lotus seed grass, mash it and take the juice, apply the residue externally to the affected area, and send the patient to the hospital in time, because this grass cannot cure the root cause. Third, there are many plants that can be used externally to save lives in the wild, but the above are the most easily identified and widely distributed.
