Quarter's question about Foxtail Grass Poisoning

Question

This is just a gentle comment for the accuracy of the article: Please distinguish between soluble (sodium and potassium) oxalates which are absorbed and causes system poisoning such as hypocalcemia and kidney damage, and insoluble calcium oxalates which are not absorbed and causes local mechanical effect in the oral and GI mucosa when the plant is chewed. That is why treatment includes oral calcium to change the soluble oxalates into insoluble calcium oxalates. The grass has both soluble and insoluble oxalates.
