Safe around pets
Alstroemeria is a skin allergen: handling the stems and flowers, especially when cutting them for the vase, can give some people a rash, so wear gloves and wash your hands afterwards. Our record lists no risk from eating it and no entry for pets. If a skin reaction develops, get medical advice.
→ NHS 111 or your GP for a person with a skin reaction
