Arums refer to a highly poisonous plant that comprises of calcium oxalate crystals in leaves. Being insoluble in nature, it leads towards high level of itching as well as pain in hands.

There is nothing to worry as the best natural remedy is available. It is advisable to wash hands with a medicated soap to shoo away poison

Certain Plants like Arum leaves have  cells which contains oxalic acid crystals  .

 And these are released into our skin when we either bent or cut the leaves.

Because of reaction of acid with skin we get a itching sensation.

Best remedy is   wash your hands with clean water and apply a medicated soap/ toothpaste which is basic in nature.
