Answer: Yes. It is not only toxic, but also toxic to the whole plant, especially the white juice in the plant has the highest toxic content and the strongest toxicity. But no research has shown that it has any toxic gas released. It's usually poisoning by eating.
After ingestion, there will be pupil enlargement, dyspnea, pulse acceleration but weak, high fever, inability to stand or walk, swelling, weakness and other symptoms. At the beginning of ingestion, vomiting, nausea, dizziness, headache, etc. will appear, followed by delirium, fidgety, diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc., followed by spasm, insensitivity to light, mydriasis, irregular pulse, pale face, cold sweat, limb ice, etc. In the end, the light will faint, the heavy will die
After eating by mistake, you should immediately vomit or wash your stomach. If it is a little serious, you can have catharsis
Therefore, when breeding, we must put it out of children's reach, and at the same time, we should set up a warning sign beside the basin, which is similar to the poisonous and inedible plants.
Its toxicity is also used in medicine, which can resist other diseases. But there is another interesting advantage, which is to help butterflies avoid being attacked by birds. Because milkweed has the function of attracting butterflies, and the larvae of butterflies grow by sucking milkweed, so it also contains a certain toxin, so birds will not bite them.
