Toxicity: Gloriosa superba contains colchicine, a toxic alkaloid compound. Ingestion of any part of the plant, especially the tubers or seeds, can lead to severe toxicity. Colchicine poisoning can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and dehydration. In severe cases, it can lead to multi-organ failure and death.
Skin Irritation: Contact with the sap or other parts of Gloriosa superba can cause skin irritation, redness, blistering, and dermatitis in susceptible individuals. Handling the plant without protective gloves can result in skin reactions.
Cardiovascular Effects: Severe colchicine poisoning from Gloriosa superba ingestion can affect the cardiovascular system, leading to symptoms such as arrhythmias, hypotension (low blood pressure), and myocardial damage. These effects can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention.
Neurological Symptoms: Ingestion of toxic doses of colchicine from Gloriosa superba can also affect the central nervous system, leading to symptoms such as confusion, seizures, and coma.
Gastrointestinal Effects: Colchicine poisoning from Gloriosa superba ingestion can result in gastrointestinal bleeding and fluid loss, exacerbating dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.
