AS PEOPLE SAY, EVERYTHING GOOD OR BAD THAT HAPPENS IN OUR WORLD, ALSO HAPPENS IN THE PLANT’S WORLD. MOST OF THE PEOPLE AGREE THAT WE NEED GREEN PLANTS IN OUR HOMES AND MORE GREEN OUR HOME IS, THAT’S BETTER.

Please, read this article carefully! My son died because putting a piece of a leaf in his mouth, and because of that his throat and tongue swollen, and at the end it choked him. This plant is very common in the homes and offices. It is extremely poisoning and very dangerous, even to the point that could kill a child for a minute and an adult person for 15 minutes. If you accidentally touch it, do not touch your eyes after it, because it can cause a permanent blindness. Warn all your friends and family!

That’s how a chain of sharing of this information started in order to protect people of this plant, that could cost somebody’s life.

It all started when the 5 years old Esteban played and said to his mother that doesn’t feels good. She thought that it is because of a bad digestion or tiredness. His father worried more, after his child’s face color started changing and when the kid started choking.

He immediately called the ambulance and they took their child into a hospital, where they received him in the emergency department due to poisoning. Nobody knew what’s going on and it was an extremely worrying moment.

After half an hour, the doctor informed the mother that the kid passed away and that the cause of his death is probably something he ate. Because of that, the doctor ordered to make a blood test and the results have shown that the boy had a high level of a chemical compound of the type “calcium oxalate” in the organism.

This chemical compound could be found in the dieffenbachia plant, and it is also known by the name of amoena. This is a very common home plant and people like to keep it in the homes and offices, because it is resistant to all weather conditions and doesn’t require too much sunlight. Those who have dieffenbachia should be very careful, especially if their kids are playing nearby, because it is deadly if consumed.

Data from 2006 shows that there were 64.250 registered cases of poisoning in the USA, in which 75% of them were kids under the age of 5.

If a person is poisoned by dieffenbachia, the National Medicine Library of the United States recommends to clean the mouth with a cold, wet cloth and to wash the eyes. If the person made a contact with the dieffenbachia, should also drink milk and call for a medical assistance.

This plant contains substances that are extremely dangerous for life. Don’t forget to share this post, so everyone can know about this plant and the danger it brings!
