Taboos on eating taro
1. Don't eat taro raw
Taro contains mild toxins. Eating taro must be heated before eating it. The mucus in raw taro is easy to cause sore throat. The mucus will also irritate the hand skin when the hand is peeled on the scalp. You can bake it or wipe the hand with ginger juice to relieve itching.
2. Taro and banana are forbidden to eat together
Eating too much taro has an impact on the digestive system, which is particularly prone to flatulence. Banana itself helps digestion and smooth the intestines, but eating both together is likely to cause diarrhea and poisoning.

People with allergic constitution mainly include patients with urticaria, eczema, asthma and allergic rhinitis.
