Is downy thorn-apple dangerous?
Downy thorn-apple's white flower and round fruit may entice children and pets to try to taste them. But all parts of this plant are strongly poisonous due to an alkaloidal toxin called anticholinergic tropane. If eaten by mistake, it causes severe mental delirium and can become fatal. Please do not approach this plant, and if you have eaten it by mistake, please see a doctor immediately.
