How complete this information is

The safety information on this page is partial. Where a source covers a point, it is shown; where none does, the page says so.

Toxic to pets

No ASPCA entry found.

No ASPCA page was found for this species, and no other pet source was read, so there is no pet verdict. This is not a finding that it is safe.

Look-alike warning
