First Aid & Prevention
First 30 Minutes
- • Rinse the mouth of the affected individual with clean water if plant material was recently ingested

- • Do not induce vomiting unless explicitly instructed to do so by a medical or veterinary professional
Contact Vet Immediately

- • If unusual symptoms unrelated to mild gastrointestinal upset appear after exposure
Prevention
- • Keep all non-edible houseplants out of reach of teething pets, toddlers, and young children to avoid overconsumption
