Torsten Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 The really spikey ones (they hurt)...and maybe the really big ones, just in case they fall over https://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://www.shaman-australis.com/ubb/wink.gif&key=4919fe9fb0297038d452b640b095bc279f8cc68a37fc8152fee24836b0d8f0dfSeriously, I would be interested in this question too. Aren't there cacti with quinolizidine alkaloids that could be rather unpleasant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ramon Posted May 24, 2000 Share Posted May 24, 2000 Found this in another ForumCarnegiea gigantea has not been reported to contain macromerine as far as I know. It does contain carnegine, salsolidine, gigantine, dehydrosalsolidine, heliamine, 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine and traces of dehydroheliamine, arizonine and 3-methoxytyramine. The carnegine content makes this plant potentially troublesome as this is a convulsive poison with an LD50 in mice of 15 mg/kg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
