A woman in China almost died after injecting herself with fruit juice in a bid to be healthy.
She suffered heart, lung, liver and kidney damage and was in intensive care for five days.
After injecting herself with the mixture, which contained more than 20 kinds of fruit, the 51-year-old also complained of a high temperature and itchy skin.
The woman was admitted to the intensive care unit of the Affiliated Hospital of Xiangnan University in Hunan on February 22, according to the Xiaoxiang Morning Herald.
She was later transferred to a general ward before being discharged.
"I had thought fresh fruits were very nutritious and it would not do me harm by injecting them into my body," she said.
"I had no idea that would get me into such trouble."
Commenters in China have said the case highlights the need for a better basic standard of medical knowledge.
