All parts including seeds and roots are toxic. Handling the plant can cause severe irritation, ingestion will cause a serious dose of the ****s. Prolonged or regular contact with the skin isn't a good idea neither considering it can be carcinogenic. The seed pods will cause an abortion in pregnant women if ingested. |
