Is white palm poisonous?

Toxic Parts

Rhizome: contains oxalic acid and calcium oxalate; leaves: contain oxalic acid and asparagus; flowers and juice: slightly toxic.

However, the surface of the white anthurium is non-toxic, and the toxicity mainly comes from the flowers and juice, so do not touch the stamens of the white anthurium on a daily basis. Wash your hands in time after pruning the white anthurium, and it is best to wear gloves when pruning.

Symptoms of poisoning

Ingestion: Burning and pain in the mouth, swelling and blistering; the voice becomes hoarse and unpleasant, and difficulty swallowing occurs.

How to deal with poisoning

Generally speaking, after being poisoned by white calla lilies, the symptoms of poisoning will gradually disappear as long as the person does not continue to come into contact with the stamens and juice of the plant.

Of course, if you want to get better faster, you can choose cooling liquids, pain-relieving pills, or foods such as licorice and flaxseed.

Farming benefits
