Bazzil says... I have just cut one of these trees down. It was about 6 metres tall and had eight main branches. that night my eyes stung a bit but not so bad that I could not sleep. I had taken it all out onto the footpath getting ready to dump it. Today, two days later I decided to take it to the dump using my KIA with no seats. Two trips. Now my eyes are stinging very badly, cannot stop the stinging and redness and weeping. Just a warning to anyone working with this tree. Very poisonous and very painful if you are working anywhere near it. | About the Author Bazzil Rassmussen 22nd March 2014 5:21pm #UserID: 9687 Posts: 1 View All Bazzil's Edible Fruit Trees |
Brendan says... Not wrong Bazzil, another name of this is Sticks of Fire or Fire stick tree! http://www.health.qld.gov.au/poisonsinformationcentre/plants_fungi/nakedlady.asp http://www.florafinder.com/Species/Euphorbia_tirucalli.php Hope your eyes are better now. My brother did get rid of a small sun spot with its sap. If I hadn't seen it myself, I wouldn't have believed it! | About the Author Brendan Mackay.
