Re: Milky liquid?
When injured, euphorbias secrete their milky sapnwhich is irritant. Don't let it come into contact with your skin or eyes
There are more cacti in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Re: Milky liquid?
Euphorbias are very poisonous, and often emit a latex sap to repair any wounds. A reason i dont grow them.
