    Most varieties of aloe vera are only ornamental plants and are not edible or medicinal. Some aloe vera may be poisoned or even life-threatening after being swallowed. For example, the poisonous agave is similar in form to aloe vera. Once ingested agave or other ornamental aloe, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bloody stools and other poisoning symptoms, you must go to the hospital for treatment.
