Is Large bullwort toxic to humans?
The large bullwort is a plant that can cause low to moderate illness in humans. The plant itself is not toxic, but it can cause serious skin problems resulting from contact with the plant followed by sun exposure. The plant is considered to cause photosensitization in humans, which means that contact with the plant followed by skin exposure to ultraviolet light can cause phytophotodermatitis. This skin condition is recognized by low to severe skin inflammation, redness, irritation, rash, erythema, edema, and delayed hyperpigmentation. The ingestion of the large bullwort may be harmful, as well.

Consumption can cause a range of uncomfortable symptoms such as pain in the mouth and stomach upset, which in more severe cases may require an intravenous drip to flush the toxins from the system. The plant's leaves taste bad in order to deter herbivores, but curious cats may still take a munch out of boredom. All parts of the plant are hazardous.
Is Large bullwort toxic to dog?
Large bullwort is mildly to severely toxic to dogs, as it contains calcium oxalates - severe irritants to the skin and mucous membranes. If a dog's skin or eyes come into contact, especially if the plant is cut or damaged, they may experience redness, itchiness, blisters, or swelling. Painfulness around the mouth or throat may in turn lead to difficulty swallowing or a loss of appetite. Ingesting large bullwort often causes vomiting and/or diarrhea. In extreme cases, dogs may experience difficulty breathing and need veterinary attention.
