Problems are more common in tropical and subtropical regions because high temperature and humidity contents are conducive to fungal growth and toxin production, and the use of these plants in medicines is a major problem (Zhang et al., 2012). In order to prevent this problem, the producer should not use the plants taken from these regions for spraying or these plants should be cleaned well. Plant collector workers should be informed. Uncleanable and useless plants should be discarded. The process should be continued when the plants that can be cleaned are completely cleaned. A personnel should be assigned to control the plants collected in the areas where these plants are collected and to ensure the correct collection. These personnel should not be self-employed but should be experts in their field. If there are no personnel to control these factories, the company that buys these plants should hire one of its own employees for this job.  

​

Apart from these, the most important are the problems arising from the lack of control in the trade of these factories from abroad (Malangu, 2017). When the control of these plants is not done well enough, the pharmaceutical companies cannot take the necessary precautions and the use of these plants in medicines causes many health problems. To collect these harmful plants and produce them in special production areas and to control the quality of medicinal herbs in herbal medicines used in treatments with maximum care is a very effective remedy. The biggest dangers that we may encounter while trying these solutions are the insensitivity of people about this issue, the cheap purchase of the controlling personnel, or their participation in the production of harmful plants that are collected in order not to lose money. Therefore, these solutions are not a method to be applied immediately, it will take time.
