Risks
- The Christ plant produces a milky sap that can cause skin irritation upon dermal contact. Chewing on the plant can result in blistering of the mouth and oral irritation.
- If the Christ plant’s sap comes into contact with the eyes of canines, permanent loss of vision may potentially happen.
- Ingesting the Christ plant can lead dogs to suffer from hypersalivation, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pains.
- The stems of the plant have sharp thorns that can puncture the skin of dogs and cause infections.
