Tom said that this could have been a tube of Colocasia. Thanks, Carla Kostelac =A0 This is a question of the Belgian Anti-Poison Centrum.

Do you have any idea what it can be? =A0 Thank you for your quick answer. =A0 Best regards, =A0 Frieda Jadin-Billiet =A0 jadin.billiet@brutele.be =A0 =A0 _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l --089e0158b6bc1f7dd704e3cb3700-- --===============8295543073793506723==
