Toxic to pets

Every part of a daffodil is poisonous, the bulb most of all: eating it can make a person or a pet seriously ill, and the sap irritates skin. Wear gloves when handling bulbs and cut stems, never store bulbs with food, and keep them away from children and pets. If a person eats any, get medical advice; if a pet does, contact a vet.
