Utter Rubbish! There are countless toxic plants both in the wild and
in cultivation. A bit of common sense is all that is needed to prevent
any problems. Folks who post inane messages like this really **** me
off.


Given the nature of the posting and the name given to the plant, I
would think is someone in USA used to seeing it growing wild and
prolifically in a warmy climate. Bit of hysteria there!
