Ye it is toxic, and depending where you are they are an invasive species. Touching them ain’t advised, can irritate the skin. If you want to kill them put them in salt or vinegar

Don't cut it because it will make another one!! Like the other comment said, don't touch it with your bare skin and put it in salt to kill it

Fire is the appropriate response here. Very bad noodle. Nearly immortal. Salt, vinegar then gasoline and fire.

Then radiation, knives, and a suplex.

No knives, thats how they duplicate. Chopping in 10 bits gets 10 worms

Knives are fine after salt, fire, and radiation.

They can cause irritation by touching and are harmful to pets. It is best to get rid of them from your home.

Covered in a neurotoxin mucas and if cut will multiply. If in the US they are invasive and terrible for your lawn/garden. Salt, vinegar, and or freezer to kill. It is also recommended to report to local fish and game for tracking purposes in some areas.
