Editor's Note
Some resources list Ipomoea seeds as poisonous if large quantities are ingested.
The toxic principals include indole alkaloids and others.
Symptoms include hallucinations, dilated pupils, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, drowsiness, numbness of extremities, and muscle tightness.
We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to warn gardeners, parents and pet owners to look further for more information.
