Poisonous Plants List

ph02938j.jpg (53055 bytes)There are more than 100 common plants and houseplants that grow in our area that have parts that contain poison that may be injurious or even fatal to humans and animals.  Nature allows this so animals and insects won’t destroy our vegetation.  Use care when around these plants to avoid ingesting them.  Training young children to avoid putting anything in their mouth without your approval is the best prevention.  Many of these plants may be planted in areas frequented by deer, rabbits, squirrels, gophers etc. as they will naturally stay away from them.  Keep away from HORSES

This is a partial listing of poisonous plants, not all parts are necessarily poisonous however, contact your local poison control center of your local hospital if you suspect a problem.
