Is hyacinth poisonous?

1. Is it poisonous?

Although its flowers are very beautiful in color and the inflorescence is dignified, it is loved by people. However, its bulb part contains toxins. If it is accidentally ingested without caution, it can easily cause symptoms such as dizziness, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid accidental ingestion, especially if there are children or small animals at home. If you don't have daily contact with it, there will generally be no impact.

2. Precautions

Although the fragrance of the flower is non-toxic, the aroma it emits after the flowers bloom is quite irritating and strong, which can easily cause discomfort to some people. The pollen can also be irritating to sensitive people, so it cannot be placed in the bedroom. Otherwise the air will become more turbid, which may easily cause suffocation when sleeping.

But precisely because of this fragrance, it can be placed in the bathroom, where it can purify the air inside, blend and buffer the odor inside, and the entire living environment will also be improved. But be careful not to place too many, because the space is relatively small and too many will be counterproductive.
