Sago palms are native to Japan and are one of the few exceptions to edible palm trees. The entire plant is toxic, however, the orange seed is especially toxic. Pets like to chew on and die quickly. Human consumption of sago palm causes vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, seizures, liver failure and paralysis. Death could occur within 24 hours.
