Mistletoe has always confused me. What about standing underneath a poisionou plant means that people should kiss? So I headed over to wikipedia to get to the bottom of this.
- Mistletoe is a parasitic plant that grows on trees & shrubs & can prove fatal to the tree or cause growth reduction.
- Prescribed in Europe for circulatory & respiratory problems. Might even be a potential treatment for tumors.
- Nicknamed vampire plant because it can grow beneath a tree & drain teh water, so it the mistletoe can survive a drought.
