	Uncooked bamboo shoots can be poisonous and should only be eaten if cooked the right way.		Uncooked bamboo shoots can be poisonous and should only be eaten if cooked the right way.

	Although bamboo as a material in itself is not toxic, some bamboo products carry toxins from pesticides from the cultivation stage or from binders from processing. Bamboo that has not been exposed to toxic chemicals are safe to use. Many bamboo products, such as cutting boards or flooring, are held together by glue that contain formaldehyde which is carcinogenic.		Although bamboo as a material in itself is not toxic, some bamboo products carry toxins from pesticides from the cultivation stage or from binders from processing. Bamboo that has not been exposed to toxic chemicals are safe to use. Some people however have experienced allergic reactions to bamboo such as itchiness or rashes. Many bamboo products in the market, such as cutting boards or flooring, are held together by glue that contain formaldehyde which is carcinogenic.

	Some people however have experienced allergic reactions to bamboo; gardeners working with bamboo plants have occasionally reported allergic reactions varying from no effects during previous exposures, to immediate itchiness and rash developing into red welts after several hours where the skin had been in contact with the plant (contact allergy), and in some cases into swollen eyelids and breathing difficulties (dyspnoea). A skin prick test using bamboo extract was positive for the immunoglobulin E (IgE) in an available case study.
