It kills the animal. My dog got one and she ended up spending 3 days up at the Gainesville animal hospital on all kinds of stuff to help her liver and GI tract. All parts of the plant are toxic to touch and breathe in the gases it emits, worse at night. I no longer have the thing on my property, but I see them all over the place in TV. GET RID OF THEM CAREFULLY! Sorry we have them around here, along with all the Roundup and other toxins that companies put into the ground that eventually get into our ground water. They say, "Oh it won't hurt the dog.".....to which you maybe can say, "Let me see you swallow some of it then." Sorry to sound so turned off by the poison sprayed all over here, but some of us need to speak up about the chemicals sprayed and poured all over the place here. We live here and need to keep our environment safe.
