Yes, certain plants can cause blindness in humans. For example, the toxic sap of the giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum) can lead to severe skin burns and increased sensitivity to sunlight, potentially resulting in permanent eye damage if it comes into contact with the eyes. Similarly, the seeds of some plants, like the castor bean (Ricinus communis), contain toxins that can be harmful if ingested or if the sap comes into contact with the eyes. Always exercise caution when handling unfamiliar plants.
