The sap can certainly give you burns, never heard of it producing anaphylactic shock.

Yes it is a euphorbia. Its stem contains latex and this can burn the skin. so important to keep children and pets away from and needs to be handled with gloves. stem must be broken for you to come into contact with latex. Some people are allergic to so possible cause.?
i just learnt of this recently. should really be a sign up/ warning. Someone i know has burns on skin as a result of this plant but i see them in all the local parks.
Don't forget Aconitum, supposedly the most poisonous plant known to man, but which I have handled, divided, sown seeds of, without coming to any harm.

My daughter has a nut allergy. She deals with it perfectly sensibly.

another day, another panic.
Stuff happens, anyone can be allergic to anything. It's about an individual's reaction to a substance,
If we banned everything that had ever caused someone a problem there'd be nothing left now.
AND THERE'S RUE,TOO, WHICH HAS A SIMILAR EFFECT AND PROBABLY WAS THE SOURCE OF THE PHRASE "YOU'LL RUE THE DAY...."
