OSU: Poisonous Poinsettia Is A Myth - (COLUMBUS) -- Researchers at Ohio State University say an
old myth about the poinsettia is NOT true. They say the plant is NOT poisonous... as is widely believed.
Horticulturist Claudio Pasian says way back in 1971 O-S-U researchers fed poinsettias to 55 rats...
without incident.
