I know it supposed to be poisonous and very dangerous for the cornea but how do you clean it? ps3 02-16-2011 @ 12:11 PM                           reply Member Joined: Apr 2008 Hi Lauren, well you shouldn’t be here writhing this post, YOU SHOULD BE GOING TO THE ER IF THAT IS THE CASE! Cactus milk can be very dangerous for the cornea as it is poisonous and it can even leave a person blind for couple of days… it is very important to wash the affected area right away and the  rush to the hospital.  Good luck!

Some of the milky substance from a cactus went inside her eye and mouth. She had to be rush to the hospital. Unfortunately, her cornea was a little damage and she had to go for surgery. Apparently not a lot of people know how dangerous cactus milk can actually be.
