Vinca is toxic. Every part of the plant--roots, stems, leaves and blossoms--causes symptoms if it is ingested. Vinca is harmful to dogs, cats, horses and humans. If any part of the plant is ingested, vinca poisoning causes abdominal cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, a drop in blood pressure, lethargy and/or tremors or seizures. Larger doses induce coma or even death.

Keywords: vinca toxic, vinca toxicity, vinca poisoning
