Hello! I was just hoping to check in and see if you could tell me if the African milk tree is poisonous? Thanks so much!
uhhh.. you are absolutely right! Even my sweet kitty has had this stuff on her. She got some eye irritation from it, so I had to take her to the vet.
Yes, this plant can be dangerous for your little furry (or feathered!) friends! Its sap can cause some pretty uncomfortable irritations, like skin irritation, eye irritation, and more.
I think that if you cut the stem or leaves and take out the sap, it might irritate your skin and even make it itchy.
This plant is quite toxic, so you'll want to be careful. Its milky white sap is also irritating, so I'd advise you to handle it carefully with gloves.
