It all started when little Esteban, 5 years old who was just playing on their living room became ill. Her mother noticed that he was beginning to have a strange color on his skin and great difficulty in breathing.

She quickly called the ambulance. Upon arriving in the hospital, doctors found that Esteban was poisoned.

After an hour, the doctor informed the woman that her son died due to food poisoning. She was in shock and had no idea what he could have eaten.

For this reason, the doctor requested a blood test and the results later revealed that a large dose of a calcium oxalate was the reason of Esteban’ death.

The chemical can be found in Dumb Cane. Despite of its beautiful leaves and very simple looks, poisoning can occur if one eats the its leaves, stalk or root.

Symptoms of poisoning from the plant include abdominal pain, burns where the acid has touched skin, convulsions, mouth pain, shock and vomiting.
