Hi Derek
Quite possible; I know someone locally that cannot approach Philodendron
without itching and Dieffenbachia is a far nastier plant, chemically, than
Philodendron.

Subject: [aroid-l] Dieffenbachia and skin rash
I have had a question about the possibility of a 2-year old child
getting
a
skin rash that has lasted three weeks from walking barefoot over
carpet
on
which a large dieffenbachia plant in a pot had sat for some years. The
carpet was steam cleaned a few weeks before the rash began (I leap to
the
defense of the plant and blame the cleaner!)
I can't imagine enough sap dropping to the carpet and surviving steam
cleaning so as to present raphides to the child ...
Any comments, please. derek
