शोधन के बिना विषैली — उपलब्ध नहीं — Latex causes blindness and blistering
The blinding tree is a mangrove tree of the spurge family that grows in saline and brackish water along tropical coasts from India to Australia, including Kerala's backwaters. Its milky latex can cause blistering and temporary blindness on contact.
In coastal folk practice the latex and bark have been used in limited external preparations for skin care. It is poisonous and is used only after classical purification under qualified supervision.
