Editor's Note

Some resources list all parts of Euphorbia as poisonous if ingested.

The toxic principal is the diterpene esters in the milky latex. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

If the milky latex comes in contact with the skin, it can cause redness, swelling and blisters.

We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to caution gardeners, parents and pet owners to look further for more information.
