Why do so many people still grow Euphorbia milii, which can cause cancer (is it harmful to the human body? Can it be grown at home)

Does Tigerthorn cause cancer?

I don't think it's true that the saying that Euphorbia pilosa causes cancer is true , because Euphorbia pilosa is indeed poisonous , and its poison is in its juice .

However, the juice of Euphorbia milii itself does not cause cancer . Instead, when a person with cancer is infected with its juice, the substances in the juice induce the Epstein-Barr virus, causing cancer.

Can Tigerthorn be grown at home?

First of all, we need to confirm that Euphorbia milii is indeed poisonous. Its toxins are stored in its milky white juice. Just like the common green radish and weeping angel, they are also poisonous, but why don’t people care?

Secondly, the toxins in the Euphorbia pilosa will not cause great harm to the human body . Most people will not feel anything when their skin touches the juice. Only people with damaged skin or some sensitive skin will experience redness and swelling. As long as you don't eat it, it will hardly cause any harm to people.

In fact, the ornamental value of Euphorbia pilosa is still very good, and it is suitable for raising at home. As long as the damage is reduced during the maintenance process and the skin is prevented from directly contacting the juice inside the Euphorbia pilosa, it is generally harmless to our human body .

In addition, if you touch it, as long as you wash your hands in time, there will be no harm, and it will basically not harm your health . Note that during the breeding period, the tiger thorn plum should be placed in a well-ventilated environment, which is conducive to its growth and can also promote the volatilization of some harmful substances.

Why do many people grow Euphorbia milii?

This is mainly because the leaves of the small flower of Euphorbia milii are green all year round, it blooms all year round, and it is easy to grow and live . Generally, as long as there is a little sunshine, it can bloom after watering and sun exposure, and it is cheap, so some people who like flowering potted plants like it very much.

Many people grow flowers, but we rarely hear of anyone being poisoned by growing flowers. What we hear is that growing flowers can beautify the environment and bring pleasure to the body and mind.

In fact, excluding the fact that Euphorbia pilosa is poisonous, it is indeed a nice little flower. You can grow a pot of it. You only need a small flowerpot and don't need too much careful care to make it full of small red flowers. It will be beautiful wherever you put it .
