When you are outdoors, you can always come across a poisonous plant. And while adults are likely to just pass by, children can suffer because of their curiosity. Many dangerous plants are grown as ornamentals and can be found not only in the forest, but also in our homes and gardens. Take milkweed, for example. It is found everywhere - often right in our homes. A huge number of its species belong to the genus Euphorbia. Teach children not to touch unfamiliar plants, even if they grow in pots. Why is the plant dangerous? Its juice leaves abscesses, to which other unpleasant symptoms of poisoning are soon added: malaise, swelling and fever.

Even just touching it requires washing your hands thoroughly. Ripe black elderberries, however, are completely safe and are used to make drinks and pies. Legend has it that Napoleon's soldiers once made a fire out of oleander branches and roasted meat on it. In the morning, many of them did not wake up. Even bees can be poisoned by collecting its pollen. Be careful: this plant is very poisonous. It causes arrhythmia, numbness and darkening of the eyes. This is an unremarkable plant with prickly fruits and black seeds; its white flowers exude a powerful aroma. Datura contains alkaloids that cause rapid heartbeat, disorientation and hallucinations. If you get hogweed juice on your hand, wash it thoroughly and protect it from the sun for about 2 days. In many countries, rhubarb is used to make pies, salads and sauces. But the leaves and root of this plant cannot be eaten because they contain a huge amount of oxalic acid. Belladonna looks like a bush with black berries and pinkish flowers. The plant contains atropine, an alkaloid that causes pupil dilation. Castor oil is made from castor oil plants. The plant contains extremely toxic compounds: ricin and ricinine. Its seeds are especially deadly: eating just 4-7 seeds, you doom yourself to certain death.
