Are Poinsettia Plants Poisonous?

The courtship of Helen and Jerry Unruh was long-distance. “He had a florist deliver a rose to me every day,” Helen recalls. After two years, a bloom arrived with a card reading, “Will you marry me?” That was in 1975. Today, Jerry still indulges his wife’s love of flowers: They have 1,700 azalea bushes at their home in Odessa, Delaware—all squeezed onto their 1 1∕4-acre property. “They are such gorgeous things in the springtime,” says Helen. “It makes you happy you’re alive.”

We’ve probably all heard the horror stories about severe skin burns from Giant Hogweed exposure (all Putin’s fault according to the Daily Express), but not many people realise that there are many other plants in the Apiaceae family capable of causing the same damage. At my allotment site earlier this year a fellow plot holder was quite badly burned after strimming her overgrown plot. I believe her arms and legs were exposed and as a consequence, when she cut through the weeds, she was covered in tiny bits of toxic sap which burned her skin. This was not caused by giant hogweed (as she first hypothesised) but by common hogweed which grows in abundance all over our allotments in Dorking. It grows quite large, sometimes up to eight feet tall with big thick stems, but not as tall as its giant cousin Heracleum mantegazzianum.
