Another word for toxicity is poisonous - well actually poisonousness would probably be better but I'm not sure that is even a real word. A more obscure synonym is perniciousness.

No, small-leaf spiderwort [Tradescantia fluminensis] isn't poisonous or toxic to animals. The answer isn't so definite in regard to humans. In fact, only one of two things can be said at this point regarding humans. One is that any possible poisonousness or toxicity is low. The other is that what may happen from human contact with the plant's leaves is a fleeting irritation or itchiness of the skin of a susceptible person. That's a general reaction that any spiderwort [Tradescantiaspp] may bring about in humans, not in animals.

Any poisonousness or toxicity of the plant thus far is unknown. Any such indications are at best slight. What looks suspicious in terms of a spiderwort possibly being poisonous or toxic are the plant's oxalate crystals.

No, cactus fruits aren't poisonous. The concern is flavorability, not poisonousness. Some of the fruits are more flavorful than others. Some fruits are more flavorful when they're a certain color. For example, in the range of colors from green to purple and red of the prickly pear cactus [Opuntia spp], the darker colored fruits are considered less tasty.

No they don't bite that's what my dad has told me I'm at a Young age and I'm afraid of there looks and afraid of bugs period. But they don't bite. When immediately see you they try to run away from you (i always manage to get them killed). Or if your cleaning in the summer and find one they will run away from you because they are as scared of you as you are scared of them.

No, poison ivy [Toxicodendron radicans] and poison oak [Toxicodendron diversilobum and Toxicodendron pubescens] aren't the same. What they are is related. They share the same genus [Toxicodendron], which is like people who share the same last name. But they aren't in the same species [radicans, pubescens, diversilobum], which is like having different first names.

Something else that they share is a lack of toxicity or poisonousness. Specifically, they both share the presence of urushiol. That oil causes a skin reaction because of irritation, not because of poisons or toxins.
