Toxic to pets
Angel's trumpet can be dangerous to people: every part is toxic if eaten, even in small amounts, and the sap irritates the skin and must be kept out of the eyes, so wear gloves, wash your hands after handling it and keep it away from children. Dogs and cats are at the same risk. If a person eats any, call the emergency number or get medical advice; if a pet does, ring your vet straight away.
