Nettles, poison ivy and poison sumac are by no meams‘ the only plants which have a poisonous effect on the human skin.. Poison- ous substances exist in many trees, and even after they have been cut and sawed a sufficient. quantity of the 130in remains in tho lumber so that workmen who handle it are Iiabl-e to infection. Amberwood is impregnated wiLh a powerful poison, according to Dr. Heinz Graf, who has been investiâ€" gating the subject, for the German Bétanicnl Society. Two different, kinds of wood are include-d under the term ambnrv woodâ€"the genuine East Indian or Asiatic satinwood, or silkwood, and the satin hardwood or amherwood. The two are quite different. in exâ€" ternal apearance. Nestler succeedâ€" ed in extracting the active subâ€" stance only from the latter. This is a. stearinlike substance. soluble only in ether. A small quantity of it placed in contact with the skin of the under-arm, in the ooursa of about five hours produced a tense-ly swollen yellowish blister surroundâ€" ed by a, red area of inflammation. After the bursting of the blister an ulcer remained which required four weeks to heal. What, is known as (x’wobolo wood contains 2L poisonous substance ousin soluble in alcohol and benâ€" zol. less so in water. It is appar- ently an ethereal oil. The placing of fine sawdust- of. this wood on the moist skin causes first violent smar’ring. l“4:>llowing this, red Spots or pimples appear, accompanied by redness and inflmn‘mation of that part, of the skin. The sawdust- of the Mexican blue“ gum is harmful when the. iRkiIl is especially sensitive from some other cause. A workman who was suf» faring from tuberculosis, and who later died from it, was attacked, after splitting this lumber, by an eruption of the underarm which forced him to stop work. Others who did similar labor for years had no ill effects. In this case the tu~ berculosis may have created the di& position . As a. rome of his investigation Dr. }ra>f urges all cabinet-makers who work in satinwood and garden“ 61's who 'gmw poisonous plants h) protect their hands, arms and head from direct contact. with the wood, sawdust or injured portions of the plants. At- the first Sign of any inâ€" flammation of the skin the sufferer should robeive the attention of a, dermatologist. Similar phenomena; are caused by the plant. (Yortusn, Maithioli, but they are even stronger, since His»- ters are produced. Touching the plants is enough to cause, irritation, and the infection may be transmitâ€" ted to other persons by hands so infected. The bearers of the irri- tating substanceix in this cam are glundwha-irs, as; in the case of the primrose. This substanch is crysâ€" tallizablo sap which can be mt- tracted from gland-hairs. It has long hem] thong-hi; that poisoning might j'emxlt from the proximity of munac, even if the plant was not, touched. lmt Dr. (iraf denies this. A visitor to the Berlin Botanical Gardens revel-lily brought suit for damages: for in. juries which he alleged he had suf» fered on account of: his proximity to a. poisonous sumac, which lvs on exhibition in the gartluns.
