They can be toxic if they want to. My comment was my reaction to the
usual "Dozen Deadly Dangers of the Holiday Season" that usually appear
in the newspapers this time of year. Maybe it was an over-reaction,
that'd be a Usenet first. Or maybe just a frivolous comment, at one
time those were permitted.

The big question is why do so many people so desperately want the florist
Poinsettia to be non-toxic?

What is their real motivation for making that claim?

What could be the error in your logic? Lets see........

Either you don't know many people or most attribute their allergic
reaction to something else.

What other possibilities could there be?

Of course, there is that remote possibility you aren't telling the truth.

May those who insist that the Poinsettia is not toxic rub the sap all
over
their bodies and see what happens!!!!!

Most people I know aren't allergic to poinsettia sap.
