Is Calla Lily poisonous?

1. Is it toxic?

It is poisonous because it contains a lot of alkaloids and crystals. If you accidentally eat it, you will fall into a coma. Its stems, flower buds and inflorescences are all poisonous. If you eat a small piece of stems, your tongue will swell. Its leaves and roots are also poisonous, so if there are pregnant women or children in the family, you need to be very careful when planting it.

2. Symptoms of poisoning

If someone accidentally eats this plant, the alkaloids in its leaves and stems will be released immediately, irritating the tongue, which will immediately have an adverse reaction of swelling. If the situation is serious, it may even cause drowsiness. These symptoms are relatively easy to detect. However, the calcium oxalate contained in this plant will not react immediately after entering the human body. It will enter the blood and eventually lead to the formation of urinary stones.
