The Poinsettia is funny. Last weekend, my five year old could not keep his hands off the Blue Poinsettia's during a recent trip to a holiday fest. On the way home, I glanced in the rearview mirror and caught him rubbing his eyes. Five minutes later he was sound asleep (not uncommon). I pulled over and shook him awake, making sure it was just harmless sleep and not the deadly harmful effects of the dreaded Poinsettia!
Better safe than sorry if you're not sure..but..in thinking about it...in this country...do you really think that the plant could be sold and used by public governmental agencies if there had ever been a case that could be traced to the plant?
Funny about how when you think about these things later, you see how a little thought about them and you would have realized the faults in the stories..^_^
