wandering jew safe?

I know one of the two varieties of this plant has sap that could cause irritants to the skin, but we pruned it the other day and I didn't find ours sticky or anything.

Are these plants safe

Hi - if it is: Tradescantia zebrina (the common wandering jew) it does have sap that can be a skin irritant but no more so than ficus and scheff's. Keep in mind that if your cham is a species that doesn't eat plants you have little to worry about anyway.
