Used in Sidha. Fleshy seeds, leaves, unprocessed flour from stem pith are dangerous, toxic if large quantities eaten. Seeds poisonous, this plant causes toxicity in sheep and cattle. Bark boiled in water used to wash burns. [CRC World Dictionary of Medicinal and Poisonous Plants]
Clinical Findings: Acute ingestion of large amounts produces nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramping, and diarrhea may be profound. Chronic consumption of BMAA, either directly or by eating flying foxes that have bioaccumulated the toxin by eating the seeds, is associated with a neurodegenerative disorder that is similar to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease.

Management: If severe gastrointestinal symptoms occur, intravenous hydration, antiemetics, and electrolyte replacement may be necessary, particularly in children. The progressive neurologic disease does not have any known therapy. Consultation with a Poison Control Center should be considered. See “Poisoning by Plants with Gastrointestinal Toxins.
