Are Thomas Jefferson Purple climbing Beans toxic to Squirrels?
Web search says that the older beans and dried pods are toxic for humans. I would assume so for squirrels. Did your squirrel eat some?
She took a bite of one but I took it away as soon as I could get it. So far she seems ok.
I think if I were you that is one plant I would pull up and replace with a safer vine...

The young or fresh beans can be eaten safely, raw. The mature, dried beans must be cooked before consuming.
