How is the poisonous finger leaf?

Finger leaves are not only very similar but also grow close to many medicinal plants and vegetables, which can easily lead to confusion causing deadly consequences.

Finger leaves have yellow flowers.

The trial of detoxifying cheek finger leaves is underway.

For people, just eating 3 fingers or 1 finger with a little alcohol will be killed. Not only leaves but also all parts of roots, stems, flowers, fruits and seeds of the leaves contain hazardous substances.
