Plants can be dangerous

By MRS. ANN HANCOOK Area Extension Agent The most innocent looking, even the most beautiful plant in the garden, window box or field may be a potential killer or cause serious illness if eaten — and children are frequent victims. Parents need to caution their children especially during the summer, months not to eat berries, plants, and flowers that they find and cannot identify. Gardens present a potentially dangerous situation. The foliage and vines of such plants as potatoes and tomatoes contain alkaloid poisons that can when swallowed create nervous disorders and stomach upset. Most dangerous of all plants is the garden vegetable — rhubarb. Its stalk commonly' used in baking and cooking of course is not toxic, but the leaf contains large amounts of oxalic acid which can be fatal if eaten in large amounts. Every summer thousands of children ingest plants, flowers, dnd berries that are unidentified. Protect your children from possible injury or death by teaching them to identify plants and not to eat any of these unless you are sure that they are edible. It is essential that children and adults understand the dangers involved in eating plants that they are unfamiliar with. Plants growing in and around the home should be identified in. every way before they are appreciated for something other than their natural beauty.
