Not really. It's more poisonous than deadly nightshade, but that's
not saying much. By tropical standards, it's only ordinarily

people about at the school summer fete in case they bought one and they had
children or pets who might eat it ... has been munched to shreds by slugs
and snails! (and maybe puppy dog tails)
