Yes--that is what was said.  So if that is the only problem with home  
grown aloe, it would be safe for external use(face).  And if I need it

There is a substance in the leaf that is astringent and will induce
diarrhea. It can be hard to stip out a leaf without this yellow
substance contaminating your product if you do it at home. Not sure

QUESTION:  Someone told me there were impurities in the aloe plant 
 and it was better when it was processed and those impurities were 
 filtered out.  Is that true?

I grow aloe in my window sill with no chemical fertilizers, is it 
 safe to ingest, use, etc.  ?
