"Are Poinsettias Really Poisonous? | Christmas Myths Debunked!" 

Have you heard that poinsettias are deadly if eaten? It’s a common belief, but it’s actually a myth! While it’s true that poinsettias can cause mild irritation if ingested, they are not nearly as poisonous as people think. The myth started in the early 20th century when a child’s death was mistakenly attributed to the plant. In reality, you’d have to eat a huge amount of poinsettia leaves to experience serious effects, and even then, it’s unlikely to be life-threatening. So, enjoy your poinsettias this Christmas-just keep them out of reach from curious pets and kids to avoid any upset stomachs!
