Category:Poisonous plants

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

The category Poisonous plants includes plants that have parts or toxins that can be fatal or extreme irritants to humans. In some cases, these toxins can be detoxified by methods such as cooking and made edible. Some plants, such as the legume Lathyrus sativus, are grown as crops for consumption by humans and livestock, but also produce toxins that can cause paralysis.
