Risks
- All parts of the tung tree contain glycosides and phytotoxins that have caused poisoning in humans. While there is no confirmed evidence of toxicity to dogs, caution is warranted.
- The seeds of the tung tree are particularly dangerous and can cause severe symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, and breathing difficulties if ingested.
- Contact with the leaves can lead to dermatitis in humans, so it may also pose a risk of skin irritation to dogs.
