Editor's Note

Some resources list Narcissus as poisonous if ingested. Ingesting the bulbs can cause poisoning in humans and has also poisoned some cattle. Family pets could be at risk if they ingest quantities of this plant. Serious cases of poisoning are rare. Humans have been poisoned only when the bulbs were mistaken for onions. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. May be fatal if large quantities are consumed.

The plant also contains allergens in the above ground plant parts, which cause dermatitis in sensitive humans.

We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to warn people to look further for more information before eating.
