As with everything, it all depends on how you treat it and how much.

Foxglove will kill humans, cattle, dogs and other creatures that consume vast quantities of it - however, in small and sensible amounts it is no more deadly than carrot juice. But in quantities - both will kill you.

It's all to do with Digoxin toxicity. Most causes of death are due to misinterpretation of the plant (Comfry) or just plain stupidity.

So foxglove is very poisonous to animals and people, but only if you take it to the extreme. A foxglove is as dangerous as a brick, if you leave it alone, a brick is fine on the floor, but if you drop it on the head of someone from 500ft it will be deadly.

Can foxes kill people?

Depending on the breed, foxes can have different lethality. Usually foxes are scared of adult humans, but may not be so scared of children or small pets. Foxes are apt to get rabies, so it is better to avoid them if you see them. As we invade their habitat with houses, etc. we are more likely to see wildlife in our neighborhoods. These are not Disney animals; they can be dangerous. Give them plenty of space when you see them.
