[QUOTE="Suzie Q, post: 865474, member: 14334"] Don't forget to let google be your friend. I googled it for you. Toxici ty All forms of lantana are thought to be toxic, with the red-flowered forms being the most dangerous to stock. Lantana poisoning in cattle is quite common and causes major economic losses. most cases of poisoning occur in animals newly introduced into areas where toxic forms of lantana are already growing. Older cattle that are used to grazing lantanainfested areas are not as susceptible. During droughts or when other feed is scarce, stock are also more likely to graze lantana. early symptoms of lantana poisoning include depression, loss of appetite, constipation and frequent urination, followed by 24–48 hours of jaundice. The eyes of poisoned animals can also become inflamed with a slight discharge. The muzzle may become inflamed, moist, and very sensitive, with a pink nose. Photosensitisation usually follows with death typically occurring 1–4 weeks after the appearance of symptoms. This slow and painful death is due mainly to liver insufficiency, kidney failure and, in some animals, myocardial damage and internal paralysis. [/QUOTE]
