Dear all;
Please read below. The message is true. And don't forget to look at the photo in the attachment file.
A friend of mine almost lost his daughter who put a piece of the leaf of this
plant in her mouth and her tongue swelled to the point of suffocation. This is
one plant but there are others with the same characteristics of coloring. Those
are also poisonous and we should get rid of them. Please watch out for our
children. As we all leave our children home in the hands of the helpers, we
should give them a safe environment where they can play.
"This plant that we have in our homes and offices is extremely dangerous!
This plant is common in Rwanda,
in many offices and in homes. It is a deadly poison, mainly for the children.
It can kill a kid in less than a minute and an adult in 15 minutes. It should
be uprooted from gardens and taken out of offices. If touched, one should never
touch ones eyes; it can cause partial or permanent blindness. Please alert your
buddies.
Best regards,
