Please tell me what is the most poisionous things to be cautious of when in the Philippines such as certain types of plants, animals, sealife, etc.

Humm, For snakes there is cobra, for insect butterfly larvae which can make your skin itchy, for plants yellow oleander , dumbcane for sea creature well jellyfish or dikya and sea sankes plus numerous sea shells and lion fish.

oh ok.... well off the topic does the philippines have their own native seahorses?

Dieffenbachia spp.


Common name(S) Dumbcane.

Toxin(s) Calcium oxalate crystals, which the plant, using special contractile cells, actually propels into the tissue of the patient. Recently, research has disclosed that proteolytic enzymes are also contained by these plants. Such enzymes trigger the release of histamines and kinins in the body and contribute to clinical signs.

Toxic part(s) Entire plant.

Signs Immediate pain in the mouth on chewing the plant. The animal may recoil from the plant, begin to salivate heavily, and shake its head vigorously. A change of voice may be noted by owners. The tissues of the mouth and throat will swell, rarely causing obstruction of the airway. Dyspnea or painful respirations may be noted. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may be seen. Discussion of rare cardiac dysrhythmias, mydriasis, coma, and death resulting from ingestion of durnbcanes (and other members of the family Araceae) are found in the literature.

Treatment Symptomatic and supportive. Rinse the mouth with water or milk. The calcium in the milk may precipitate soluble oxalates. Antihistamines may be useful. Fluids and electrolytes may be necessary in patients who have severe fluid losses or hypotension.

Oz? Our neighbors had a lot of those plants?

I do not know that these plants were poisonous?

It's the women! No matter what country it is, there is no poison in the world that can match a poisonous women!

We have tarantulas and black widow spiders in the rainforest. our coral reefs contains some of the most poisonous sea snakes, beware of walo-walo! the local name for the most dangerous sea snake. Walo-Walo... because fishermen says you only have eight hours to live if you are bitten by this snake and not given an anti-venom serum.

We also have the Philippine King Cobra (Naja naja philippinensis) which is included in the Top 10 deadliest snakes in the world .
