1) On cutting arum leaves, the hand that cuts it begins to itch because arum leaves when being cut release a kind of mucus that causes an itching sensation. 

2) To prevent itching, one should be cautious that the leaves are thoroughly washed before they are cut. Also, it would be better to wear rubber gloves while cutting the leaves.

Another measure adopted can be applying coconut oil on the hands.
