Thanks to Lourdes, I did some Googling and it seems that "látex tóxico" is actually more common! Suggest that would be better if this is going in a Glossary (although I have my doubts about whether it should).

Reference: ¿savia lechosa venenosa o irritante?

Reference information:
Algunas plantas, entre ellas muchas euforbias (Euphorbiaceae) tienen una savia blanca de aspecto lechoso que es venenosa o irritante; quizás se refiera a eso, pero más contexto ayudaría a esclarecerlo.
