I wouldn't rub an Opuntia biglovii all over my body, and as far as I
know, they are not considered toxic.

poinsettias cost too much to try your experiment.

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

All Euphorbia are toxic to some degree.

Its not a cactus and its not a pencil.
It seeks revenge only on those who don't know that.

The plant is Euphorbia tirucalli.

Like all Euphorbia, it has a caustic white sap that can blister the skin.



Would you consider "some" or maybe "most" Euphorbia?

It is Killer Poinsettia season again.
