Symptoms tend to occur very quickly (within minutes to hours) of ingestion and can be very serious. If you observed him eating any of the plant I would contact your emergency clinic and advise them of the situation as he will need to be treated urgently if any signs develop - panting/rapid heart rate/tremors etc
