Children can come into contact with poisonous plants anywhere, whether at home, in the garden, at daycare, or on the playground. They are particularly at risk because, on one hand, colorful fruits and seeds tempt them to taste, and on the other hand, toxins affect children at much lower doses than adults. To prevent incidents with poisonous plants and to be able to act correctly in case of an emergency, educators need to know the plants, their toxic effects, and the symptoms of poisoning. This guide should therefore be an essential part of any home, daycare, or school library! Contents include: Over 200 species of poisonous plants in color, organized by toxic effect. Each plant includes a brief description, habitat, and poisoning symptoms. Color plates comparing toxic and edible fruits. First aid and therapy.
