POISONOUS POINSETTIAS

 

Since the early part of the 20th century a rumour has persisted that Poinsettias are poisonous.

For over eighty years this rumour has continued to circulate because of an alleged incident in 1919 when the two-year-old child of an Army office allegedly died after eating a Poinsettia leaf.

It was never proved by medicine or science and no other incidents have been reported but the rumour persists.

Even if they are not poisonous don’t eat them anyway not at Christmas on any other time.
