Wandering Jew (Tradescantia spp.,) has been found to be poisonous to cattle, according to an old article in the Agricultural Gazette of New South Wales (June 1977, 88 (3); no link available), as well as Kate Blood's book Environmental Weeds: A Field Guide for SE Australia (2001). Nitrates have been associated with cases of sudden death in cattle that happened to consume this plant. It is also toxic to sheep if they consume the leaves. The same effects have not found to be similar in goats, toxicity being lower in Caprine animals than in Ovines or Bovines. Pigs, cats and chickens are also tolerant to this plant, with no toxicity effects found in them. With horses, it has been seen to cause eczema on their muzzles.
The poisoning level for humans and dogs is dermatitis (lowest on poisonous scale); it can cause skin rashes, irritations or in some cases Allergies if a particular area is exposed to this plant. There is some speculation that it could be due to the calcium oxalate raphides (or calcium oxalate crystals) in the sap that causes such irritation reactions.
