    Call 1-800-222-1222. I don't think she's in danger, but call 1-800-222-1222, and read this while waiting"
    -----------------
    1. A little-known fact about marigolds is that they are poisonous. Their flowering head, stem, leaves and roots contain phototoxic thiophene derivatives. However, this poison actually has very little effect on humans. When exposed to a combination of marigold cell sap and sun exposure, skin redness and irritation may occur. Nose and eye irritation can also be a symptom of a marigold's phototoxic thiophene derivatives. But don't worry, these symptoms are not severe and should only last a few minutes.


    -----------------
    No sunlight inside your daughter.

    Nevertheless, I urge you to call your poison control center via the number above because your daughter is very young and small, and they are the experts.

    (I am so sorry about the irrelevant answer. I was trying to answer another question there and I thought I'd submitted it.)

    Many flowers are edible and have healing properties. Marigolds have antioxidents but call the 800 number drwho gave.

My 6 month old golden retriever ate a spare rib bone [ 2 Answers ]

Hi - we gave our puppy a spare rib bone and she swallowed it whole. She seems fine, but what should we do to ensure that she isn't in any danger? Should we call the vet, watch her stool? Is this something the dog can just pass? We obviously are very worried. Thanks.
