Phototoxic Plants Some ancient people thought that some plants harvest more sun than others. Today we know that some species produce phototoxins = substances that are activated by the short-wave blue and UV part of the sun’s spectrum. The plants produce increased phototoxin levels when attacked by fungi or insects. Giant Upon exposure hoagweed, to ultraviolet the white kernel radiation, turns discoloration violet, then of the skin occurs (inflammation, lightening or darkening) or rashes, and even blistering. Blister Bush Peucedanum galbanum with unpleasant cocktail of psoralen, xanthotoxin, bergapten triggers severe dermmatitis 2-3 days after exposure Apiaceae like Heracleum (giant hoagweed or cow parsnip), Angelica and others cause phototoxic blistering Many toxic plants like Deadly Nightshade Atropa belladonna etc can also cause dermatitic inflammations Marigold plant produces the phototoxin alpha-terthienyl, which functions as a nematicide. When exposed to near ultraviolet light, such as in sunlight, alpha-terthienyl generates the toxic singlet oxygen.Alphaterthienyl results in damage to the respiratory, and nervous system of larvae, resulting in 100% death rates = natural insecticide.
Rue (Ruta) is a genus of strongly scented evergreen subshrubs 20-60 cm tall, in the family Rutaceae, native to the Mediterranean region, leaves are bipinnate or tripinnate, with feathery appearance, bluegreen in color. The flowers are yellow, with 4-5 petals, about 1 cm diameter, it is very bitter, can cause severe stomach pain. Rue has been used internally as antispasmodic, abortifacient, Common rue (leaves & oil) on skin with sun exposure blisters. Rue Ruta graveolens
