growitall said:Yes, I agree. Just wanted to make the point that not having a reaction to latex products (gloves, etc.) doesn't mean one is immune to the effects of Euphorbia sap. (There's no real relationship between latex products and Euphorbia sap). Most fears about plant toxicity are hugely overblown but it does pay to be cautious with Euphorbia! The sap is difficult to wash off, too, and it seems like you need to break it up with an oily substance sometimes to remove it.


Lori, maybe you'd better check your source about the relationship of latex to euphorbias.
