Still, I have heard many unsolicited testimonials to the virtues of homeopathic “Rhus tox†to alleviate or diminish Rhus sensitivities.

Dosage: Class 3 (AHP). CAN reports lectins to be mitogenic and toxic, and to cause cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Because of toxic constituents, uterine stimulation, and reputed affect on the menstrual cycle, its use in pregnancy and lactation is to be avoided. Ingestion or application of mitogenic berries (roots agglutinating but not mitogenic) to broken skin may induce hematologic changes and eosinophilia. Overdose of tea may cause abdominal cramps, diplopia, drowsiness, hematachezia, hematemesis, hypotension, tachycardia, vertigo, watery diarrhea, and weakness. Poke root may also induce convulsions, dyspnea, spasms, and death (CAN; FEL). Contraindications: Class 3 (AHP).
