Some resources list Brugmansia seeds, flowers and leaves as poisonous if a significant amount is ingested. The toxic principals are atropine, scopolamine, and hyoscyamine.
Symptoms include hallucinations, dry mouth, muscle weakness, increased blood pressure and pulse, fever, dilated pupils, paralysis.
We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the poisonous details listed above are a precaution to gardeners, parents and pet owners.
