V formation and eauterizations that heal poorly, due to the
released protoanemonine, which is severely initating to the
skin and mucous membranes. If taken intomally, severe
invitation 0 the gastrointestinal tract, combined with colic
and diarchea, as well as ieritation of the utinary drainage
passages, are possible
Symptomatic treatment for external contact consists of
muciloginoss, after irrigation with diluted potassium perman-
ganate solution, In case of intemal contact, administration of |
activated charcoal should follow gastric lavage.
Death by asphyxiation following the intake of large quanti-
tics of protoanemonine-forming plants has been observed in
animal experiments, The risk associated ith use of this
plant is less than that of many other Ranunculaceae (e-.,
‘Anemones nemorosae) due to the relatively low levels of
proteanemonine-forming agents.
