Now that's scary!


9th June 2010

Mummy received an email about a dangerous plant that can cause fatality. It actually looks very familiar and is common to be seen anywhere in Brunei. Just thought of sharing this with all of you. Thanks to Umi Lizam for sharing the information. Here's the extract of the email:

"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 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!

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.
