If poked by a Pyracantha thorn is it poisonous?
The poison in a Pyracantha is in such tiny amounts that being pricked by a thorn would not cause any problems. The above may be true but I have found on several occasions when pruning our Pyracantha that the almost inevitable pricks by the amazingly sharp thorns will often leave me with a very sore and red finger or arm. This goes away after 2 or 3 days. This is possibly due to the minute amounts of cyanide in the plants.

Whilst Pyracantha (or Firethorn) berries are a welcome dietary supplement for birds, they are a cyanide producer and are unsuitable for cats and dogs. They can produce mild to moderate gastrointestinal upset, whilst a build up of cyanide in the intestinal tract, over time, can lead to more serious complications. Whilst you enjoy watching your dogs eat Pyracantha berries like Bambi, you are allowing them to slowly poison themselves.

Pyracantha berries are edible, so you can eat them. I heard people make jelly out of them.

You should be reasonably safe on this one, barring allergies. See links.
