We have it in Europe

Yes, it has been around for 30 plus years, and I personally now of nobody, who had severe blisters or got blind. A minor, temporary rash is the most serious I know of. In the tropics they have trees that cause the same thing - they simply look out for this and alert strangers in the area. No big deal, just part of God's garden. To me this sounds like just another "dangerous alien! Destroy destroy destroy!"-campagne, that is designed to give hundreds of professionals a job on the cost of scaring the ignorant that have lost connection with nature.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Georg Parlow
