Is Sea thrift toxic to humans?

Sea thrift contains phytochemicals such as Quercetin, which irritates the stomach when ingested. It is not particularly dangerous unless a massive amount is eaten; in that case, kidney failure becomes a possibility from the Quercetin alone. Eating sea thrift causes nausea, drooling, vomiting, colic, and diarrhea. The plant's sap has strong irritating properties that can cause photosensitivity and skin rash. Keep children and cognitively impaired people away from this plant.
