Copy of Plant poisoning

Most plants that grow in the UK are harmless and if eaten may only cause a mild stomach upset.

However, some plants are poisonous if eaten such as wild arum, foxglove, laburnum, ivy and mistletoe. 

Something like the death cap mushroom, a fungus which is fairly common in most parts of the UK, is deadly poisonous. 

If a potentially poisonous plant has been eaten try to identify it or a sample should be taken to the hospital for identification.
