A member asked:
I read an article that said smelling pointsettias while pregnant can cause miscarriage or probs with baby. any truth to this? is it safe inside house?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Unless you have a specific allergy to the flowers or their pollen or their scent that will cause you to react negatively, there is no evidence that Poinsettias are harmful to humans. I found nothing in the literature that suggests smelling them to be harmful to pregnancy. Yes, they are safe in the house, if you like that. Merry Christmas and congratulations.
