TOXICITY

So, handle it cautiously!

This succulent is toxic/poisonous due to the sap inside.  We suggest handling with gloves. You might grab it and touch it, but if this succulent snaps, gets a cut, a hole, etc then it will release white sap. That white snap is poisonous and will harm you if it touches your skin. Don’t touch the white sap, if you do then wash your hands immediately. Do Not rub or get sap in your eyes as it may burn.
