Rating for this plant:
This plant is quite poisonous and dangerous. I found this link with some stories of what happened when a few people came into contact with the sap. Just scroll down until you find E. cooperi. It will be the one with the biggest paragraph of material. - http://www.theamateursdigest.com/epoisons.htm
