1. Is Mimosa poisonous

There are some trace toxins on the whole plant of Mimosa. Because the plant itself contains strong alkaline substances, it is called Mimosa alkali. If you touch its leaves for a long time, it may cause hair and eyebrows to turn yellow or even fall.

Therefore, it is best not to keep it indoors, but in the balcony and courtyard. If you really want to keep it indoors, remember not to put it very close to people and do not touch it too much, otherwise it will cause allergy and harm people's body over time.

Is Mimosa harmful to human body

Mimosa does no harm to human body during the day, unless it affects the body by touching its leaves for a long time. But at night, it can not carry out photosynthesis. It will absorb indoor oxygen and then discharge carbon dioxide, resulting in less indoor oxygen, which has a certain impact on people sleeping. If accumulated for a long time, it will damage the human body and be harmful to health.

Therefore, try not to keep Mimosa indoors or in the bedroom. You can keep it on a sunny balcony.

3. Precautions

Because Mimosa itself contains strong alkaline substances, long-term contact will cause damage to the human body, and release carbon dioxide to absorb indoor oxygen at night. Therefore, pregnant women and children with low body immunity had better not touch Mimosa. However, for the sake of their health, it is better not to raise Mimosa directly at home to avoid more serious consequences.
