                                Over 75 years ago, false rumors spread about the poinsettia's toxicity, but there are no similar false claims for the amaryllis, which is genuinely toxic. All parts of the amaryllis plant contain harmful compounds, and it should never be eaten by humans or pets under any circumstances. Ingestion can cause a range of unpleasant symptoms, with the bulb being the most dangerous part.
