is it poisonous?

by Sam
(Texas)

Its stem starts out green and as it grows gets thicker and turns a tanish grey. Its leaves are teardrop shaped and about a 1/4in thick, green, porous, waxy, and a little squishy. I need to know what this plant is because my daughter took a bite of the leaf. Please help as soon as you can. Thanks.


Drought Smart Plants reply:

Sam, get your daughter to the emergency room right away if you're not sure. I can't identify this plant by your description.

IF IN DOUBT, ASSUME IT'S POISONOUS, ESPECIALLY IF A CHILD IS INVOLVED!!!!!

Take a piece of the plant with you.

Good luck,
Jacki

Thank you very much. It was a Rubber plant and she is fine and didn't have any complications. :)

 What a relief!

Sam, I'm so glad to hear all is well - there is nothing quite so scary as to think that your child is in danger. Thanks for posting again!
