Are calla lilies poisonous? What precautions should I take when handling them?

How do I overwinter calla lilies in colder climates?
After the first frost, when the foliage begins to wilt, dig up the rhizomes and allow them to dry in a cool, dry place. Store the rhizomes in a paper bag or cardboard box in a cool (45-50°F or 7-10°C), dry place until the danger of frost has passed in spring.
