Some people with latex allergies have had a skin reaction (most likely to the sap) after touching the leaves. For pets, the poinsettia sap may cause mild irritation or nausea. Probably best to keep pets away from the plant, especially puppies and kittens.<br />•Poinsettias are not poisonous. A study at Ohio State University showed that a 50-pound child would have to eat more than 500 leaves to have any harmful effect. Plus poinsettia leaves have an awful taste. You might want to keep your pets from snacking on poinsettia leaves. Eating the leaves can cause vomiting and diarrhea<br /><br />I have pets and grandchildren so I prefer to use silk poinsettias...maybe some year I'll have real ones :)<br /><br />Love that recipe!!!<br /><br />Hugs from Jan<br />JFMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09021461504951465311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-38975634201562237362016-12-03T15:09:45.768+00:002016-12-03T15:09:45.768+00:00I only got them once.
