Dieffenbachia plant poisoning cases and effects on human health

Öz

Many plants, such as Dieffenbachia Schott, which are poisonous and can be life threatening, are present in the habitats of people. Dieffenbachia is widely used for ornamental purposes in living quarters, but it is a plant species that can harm human health as a result of contact, chewing or ingestion. The aim of this work is to attract the attention of researchers to the role of the Dieffenbachia plant, often used for ornamental purposes in homes, especially in the case of home accidents that children are exposed to and the likelihood of abuse. For this reason, Dieffenbachia poisoning cases in the literature have been discussed in the context of resources. A total of 7 cases were studied, including three cases of 1-3 years of age, 3 cases of 7-12 years and a case of adult age of 69, obtained by investigating the literature. Dieffenbachia plant can cause vital signs, such as airway obstruction and respiratory failure, as well as mild skin reactions, depending on the type of contact and amount of exposure. Care should be taken and caution should be exercised on the use of plants such as Dieffenbachia and similar plants in houses, playgrounds and other green area regulations.
