What our table adds
The gel inside is fine, but the leaf’s outer layer contains saponins and anthraquinones that cause vomiting, lethargy and diarrhea if eaten. Keep the plant out of reach even though aloe gel is a human first-aid staple.

How this page is made
Every line about this plant comes from the curated table behind our plant checker, as it stands. A verdict appears only beside the ASPCA listing that states it; where the table has no such source, the page says “Not assessed” instead of guessing.
