I am forever doing that, from my fingers and from it squirting..burns like hell, and makes my eyes itchy. Never looked at my pupils afterwards tho. I actually ate some juice once..didn't do anything tho. I didnt eat it on purpose, lol..I was pinching leaves, and DD came in with a bowl of cheetos..I said oo can I have one, she gave it to me, and then after I swallowed I realized my fingers were wet with brug juice..duh!
Ya know what I wanna know? How is it, that even if you are wearing glasses, sometimes you get a really juicy one & some juice manages to get around your glasses and shoot into your eye??
Wonder if we'll build up a resistance to it, LOL
Glad you're OK, just do better than me, and keep an eye on it, no pun intended, lol..ew that's just visually gross!

Oh Thank you for the info. I didnt know this. I hope you can see soon popeye I mean knotz lol Daniella you crack me up... :)

lol, popeye...Thats funny :)

Now I'm gonna see if I can drive 2 miles to my folks house...Gotta get Valentines Day stuff ready to mail to my granddaughters.

It's amazing what plant "juice" will do, huh!!!...It just feels like there's something in my eye and the light makes it feel weird...lol...Can't say I ever ingested it...lol

knotz

oh no and the season has not even started yet. But like you said. It is good info for the ones that have not heard about this bad thing that can happen when you are not careful.

I sure hope you are ok driving !

Guess what????...My pupil is almost back to normal already!!..YIPPEE!!..Maybe my hubby won't see it now :)..He doesn't like to see me hurt AT all :)..Besides he'll just call me dummy...lol

I was ok driving....Got to my folks and my dad was "trimming" my mom's fav heuchera!!...I told him "don't do that!!!...Those leaves are fine, they're supposed to be purple"...lol...He tries...He's actually doing pretty good for being 72...I try to help when I can.

But ya...Please be careful and share this with all those you know...The newbies REALLY need to know this can happen.

Sorry you got the Popeye, lol. Happened to me too when I was in a hurry trimming leaves. They can be more juicy than you think. Glad you are better now.

At least you only got a little bit of it. I had it in both eyes & was blinded for days. I have goggles to put over my glasses next time I trim them. Your pupil is wide open to the light & can't close when the brug juice is in there. Make sure to stay out of bright light so you don't damage your eyes.

Hope you are doing better this morning.
Be careful!

lol lol i hate when brug juice gets in my eye. i have been growing brugs for over 20 years now and should know better !! lol lol lol but, it happens every year . lol i try to always wear safey glasses when i work with them .

knotz , getting it in your eyes , is just part of growing brugs lol lol

Eye's all better this morning...Last year when it happened, the pupil of my eye was as big as the whole thing!!

I knew better...I'm always thinking when I'm pinching or doing anything with the brugs, to be careful..I guess that "thought" got away from me for a sec.
