Are the stems of amaryllis's poisonous?

Would they harm a person if they were consumed?

Are the stems of amaryllis's poisonous?
From what I've read, it's just the bulbs that are toxic, but I wouldn't try eating the stems. Who knows what kind of gastrointestinal problems eating the stems can create?





"The leaves are not poisonous or toxic; the bulb itself is..."

"The bulbs or corms of tulip, daffodil, jonquil, narcissus, amaryllis, and iris produce primarily gastrointestinal signs (vomiting and diarrhea) after consumption..."

"Amaryllis is an ornamental plant commonly sold for its winter flowers. Ingesting the bulbs has poisoned humans." The toxic alkaloid, lycorine, is the principal toxin, although small quantities of related alkaloids are also present (Lampe and McCann 1985; Fuller and McClintock 1986)."

Amaryllis is poisonous by all mean other than esthetical.
