A toxic plaint called ‘Myrtle Spurge’ caused burn to over six girls in Colorado Springs.

The white substance inside the plant ‘Myrtle Spurge’ is poisonous

All the 6 girls said that they were playing in the yard and plucking up the Myrtle Spurge, pretending it could be milk, they squeezed it out into a cup. Poison in the plant made the girls’ lips and tongues numb and burn, their faces got blister and burns.

The parents quickly figured out it was the plant, and some-how the girls had gotten the white sticky stuff all over their faces.

However the girls’ faces will heal with-out any scarring. Their parents are urging other parents to check out what’s in their yards.
