Best Answer

That the plant contains an irritating substance is a reason for keeping a distance between children and poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima).

Specifically, the plant's milky sap can be irritating. An extreme reaction would be upset stomach and/or diarrhea. But the sap is not poisonous and in fact has been used to treat fever.
