Harmful houseplants

1. Cyclade
   Many believe that this cute and beautiful plant can ward off bad dreams and fears. This is a beautiful plant, but do not forget about its poisonous properties. The most poisonous parts are the seeds and roots of the plant, their juice can cause irritation and inflammation of the skin. So we strongly do not recommend trying this wonderful recipe, which is quite popular in folk medicine: bury cyclamen juice from sinusitis. You can burn the mucous membrane, get a jump in temperature, sore throat and difficulty breathing. In the treatment of sinusitis, this will definitely not help you.
