According to the NCSU website they are poisonous and cause severe pain in the mouth when eaten. I checked because our kitten likes to chew on the leaves. It doesn't seem to cause her pain but she does have constant urinary tract infections. When I Googled it the webpage below says the "Toxic Principle" is calcium oxalate crystals, the same crystals that cause urinary infections in cats. Coincidence? Let's just say I moved the plant :-P
