''Euphorbia poissonii'',〔(''Euphorbia poissonii'' ) in (Tropicos )〕 also known as ''Euphorbia poissoni'' 〔(''Euphorbia poissoni'' ) in (CJB African Plant Database )〕 and, incorrectly as ''Euphorbia poisoni'' is a highly irritant and toxic succulent member of the large and varied spurge family of plants.〔(''Euphorbia poissonii'' ) in BoDD – Botanical Dermatology Database〕 It is native to northern Nigeria, where local farmers extract its latex for use as a pesticide. Its powerfully irritant and pain-producing nature mandates use as a fencing plant. == Toxic activity ==
In addition to a variety of irritant phorbol-type esters, the latex contains resiniferatoxin and tinyatoxin, two closely related highly irritant resiniferonol-type esters.〔 The most active toxin, resiniferatoxin, binds to pain receptors in the same way as capsaicin but much more powerfully. It stimulates the neurons to fire repeatedly, causing pain. Due to its selective nature of binding and killing pain receptors while leaving other nerve cells intact, resiniferatoxin is currently being researched as a possible treatment for chronic pain.
