Re: T-shirt stains

From: "Julius Boos" ju-bo at email.msn.com> on 2000.05.03 at 02:50:16(4524) Friends, I work CLOSE to my plants, and Lasia and Cyrtosparmas have terrible spines and thorns, and Dieffenbachia, Colocasias, etc. ITCH like hell, so though I have been known to be a 'nature nut' at times, in my opinion Aroids and nudity do NOT a good combination make! One MIGHT have to request the Doctor at the ER to please take away the pain, but try to leave the swelling. Cheers, Julius +More Heliconias stain real bad ! Same family as bananas. Twice a week we pick and trim hundreds of Heliconias, and you should see my t-shirts and shorts !Lots of other plants stain as well,some Cycads [Zamia furfuraceae ] One solution no one has suggested, don't wear any clothes when working with plants !!
