Although it looks like or may even be a plant in your home, do NOT try an experiment such as this. On today's episode, Coyote travels to Costa Rica to compare the effects of the Dumb Cane leaf, stalk, and stem when touched to his arm. Perhaps not surprisingly to some, he was also dumb enough to touch the stem to his tongue! While Coyote's side effects in this video were mild, make no mistake, this plant can cause severe irritation, burning, and even death. HUGE THANKS to the Bio Sur Foundation for leading this adventure at the Río Nuevo Nature Reserve. Their mission is to protect the endangered wildlife of Costa Rica by creating rainforest reserves through land acquisitions, environmental education of the local population, and engagement with national and international partners.\n
