a long time ago complained about this (I think)
I have a lot of allergies but I didn't find myself allergic to the aroid seeds, but over the 24 hours after I cleaned them the whole surface layer of skin peeled off on my fingers where I handled them. So I guess it is an irritant, even if not an allergy in my case! LOL

Thought this was worthwhile adding as a warning.
