"A new study in the British Medical Journal says no. I must admit this was news to me. Researchers examined data from the American Association of Poison Control Centers on accidental ingestion of the poinsettia plant and found that no one died, and in the vast majority of cases (96%) no medical treatment was needed. However, you should still keep kids and pets away from this festive plant: While it may not be poisonous, eating it can lead to a stomachache along with nausea and diarrhea, and touching the sap can cause skin irritation (if you&amp;#039;re exposed, wash the area with soap and water).
