What our table adds
Its reputation is far worse than the reality — the milky sap irritates the mouth and stomach, causing drooling and mild vomiting, but it is rarely serious. Keep it out of reach, but don’t panic over a stray nibble.
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.
