Beware!

Do you have this plant at home? Beware!.. 'coz it's hazardous to health! Hey frenz... some of you don't read Chinese but never mind, please take note 'coz this is really too alarming to be ignored & I must share with you guys...
Basically this article warns about this highly poisonous plant... so please be aware that it's health hazardous when placed at home, in the office or anywhere near our dwelling places!
Apart from the poison in the sap of the leaves which can cause irritation, inflammation or swelling of face and jaw when come into contact specially by those with skin allergy. This plant is useless in terms of air purification, absorption of other harmful or even cancer causing gases in the air eg CO2, CH2O(Formaldehyde) C2-H-Cl3 (Trichloroethylene).
Even the soil where the plant grows also turn poisonous! So, don't use the soil to plant veggies. Even, insects, ants will not go near this plant.
Oh dear! Too bad, so sad :( .... it's such a nice strong yet elegant plant liked by many including myself!
Chinese in particular loves this 'good luck' plant due to it's common name "Gold Coin Tree" I guess. It's most popular during CNY period... especially dressed 'em with tiny red ribbons tied to its branches!
Anyway, please be safe; just be "distant admirers" of this lovely plant ya!
Take care... and GOD BLESS!
