Bulb offsets

This guide’s details are being double-checked, so for now it carries only the safety notes.

Daffodil, tulip and hyacinth bulbs are poisonous if eaten and are easily mistaken for onions or shallots, so never store them near food and keep them away from children and pets. The sap and bulb coating can irritate skin, sometimes called daffodil itch, so wear gloves and wash your hands.

Where to get help

NHS 111, or your GP. Your vet, Animal PoisonLine, or the Veterinary Poisons Information Service.
