Toxic to pets
Flowering tobacco contains nicotine and every part is harmful to people if eaten, causing sickness; avoid touching the sap with bare skin, and wear gloves when handling it. Dogs and cats that eat any part can also become ill. If a person swallows any, get medical advice; if a pet does, ring your vet.
