A more accurate title might be The toxicity of common plants... , because the thoroughness of the coverage gives the impression that every yard, house, garden, and forest plant has some part that is known or suspected to be at least mildly toxic. A guide for parents, outdoorspeople, and healthcare workers to protecting young children. Includes beautiful color photographs and guides for quick identification of the plant or mushroom, a summary of its toxicity, suggestions for treatment, and additional notes.
