All Narcissus (daffodils included) contain an alkaloid poison called lycorine. If ingested it will cause vomiting in humansas well as high blood pressure, headaches, blurred vision, irregular heartbeat and possibly death. Accidental ingestion is due to someone mistaking a daffodil bulb for an onion or shallot.

Another human response is the "daffodil itch" which as a common inflammation of the skin, especially in florist. This is caused by calcium oxalate in the sap, and will produce dryness, fissures, scalines and redening of the hands.

The ASPCA puts out a document which list the different animals and what is toxic to those particular animals. Daffodils are poisonous for all common household pets and livestock.

However, the good news is that there is a chemical called galantamine that daffodils produce. This has been used to combat Alzheimer's disease.

Is daffodil DNA in human makeup?

There are two different answers to this question:Please remember that daffodils are in the plant kingdom and humans are in the animal kingdom. They are very different in their genetic makeups. You will not find any daffodil DNA in a human genome. Humans just don't have the enzymes to handle plant cell byproducts.There is an fragrant oil which can be made from different varieties of daffodil. They contribute to the ingedients of perfume formulations. It is not the DNA of a daffodil, but the byproduct of the daffodil's DNA that is used in perfumes. There is also a yellow dye that can be produced from daffodils and might be used in eye makeup.
