Are they poisonous or dangerous in any way? Don't eat the leaves or any frost damaged stalks. Primarily the poison is oxalic acid ,you would have to consume quite a bit to be killed but it will still make you sick and damage your mouth. Some other glycosides are present but little is known of them. |
