Cactus is not a safe substitute for potable water. Drinking cactus water on an empty stomach will give you diarrhea or make you vomit, therefore dehydrating you even more. This is because the moisture inside of the cactus pulp is highly acidic.
Why this post? Does anyone tried to drink it?
It is not safe for consumption just in case children or people might be curious. However, some desert animals have already adapted in drinking the water from it.
Yes I have read. Thank you
