    Agapanthus juice is poisonous, it can cause a strong allergic reaction or poisoning. It is a source of phytoncides (natural antibacterial substances), therefore it is recommended to grow it in apartments and houses. The greens of the flower have a pronounced antimicrobial effect, but you should not use it for self-medication - the juice is poisonous.
