KILLER HOUSE PLANT!

[Maegan Frost]

 

Dear all, Please read below. The message is true. I almost lost my 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 beware of it. 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 Kenya , Rwanda, Uganda in plant nurseries, many offices and 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. It is Genus Dieffenbachia. Read more about this plant.  This is not just an urban legend.  It is true. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002866.htm <http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002866.htm> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieffenbachia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieffenbachia>

A peach is a peach A plum is a plum,
A kiss isn't a kiss Without some tongue.
So open up your mouth close your eyes,
and give your tongue some exercise!!!
