122. Killer Mushrooms: The Toxic Amanita Spp. Fact sheet outlining the poisonous aspects of the Amanita family of mushrooms. http://www.ansci.cornell.edu/plants/toxicagents/amanita/amanita.html

Wild mushrooms are tasty, but... DON'T EAT THESE!!!! The poisonous mushrooms of the Amanita family: INDEX: Introduction The Mushrooms: The Toxins: The Symptoms ... Mushroom Links of Interest Introduction: The Amanita spp. are a genus of mushrooms containing a few species famous for their toxicity. There are many edible amanitas, but eating the wrong one can get you into heaps of trouble, not to mention the delerium, vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, liver failure or death you may experience. Most poisonings tend to occur in people from foreign countries who pick Amanitas that look "just like" those yummy ones they ate at home or to overconfident novice mycophagists (people who wild mushrooms) who have not bothered to properly identify their mushrooms. So, if you plan to hunt the wild mushroom, make sure to arm yourself with the proper knowledge and only eat a wild mushroom in a foreign country based upon identification in that country's field guide, not a North American guide. Be sure that you use a guide and don't listen to any old wives' tales about how to tell edible mushrooms from poisonous ones.

125. Poisonous Plants does not come up with the herd, or appears unhealthy, poisonous plants may be the cause. poisonous plants contain toxic compounds which can injure, http://www.mntrailriders.com/poisonous.html

Plants Poisonous to Horses Submitted By: Krishona Martinson, Regional Extension Educator In early October 2004, there were several reports of horse poisoning from white snakeroot. These reports have not all been confirmed, however, recognizing poisonous plants and proper pasture management are two tools to reduce poisonous plant toxicosis in the fall. When an animal goes off feed, loses weight, does not come up with the herd, or appears unhealthy, poisonous plants may be the cause. Poisonous plants contain toxic compounds which can injure, reduce performance or even kill horses. Reductions in performance include; exercise intolerance, weight loss, weakness, rapid pulse and unthriftiness. Poisonous plants should be given consideration as the potential cause, especially if the following situations exist: Forage supply in a pasture is sparse due to overgrazing, drought or poor late season growth

135. Plants, Poisons & Other Dangers To Your Cat Dangerous Objects; poisonous plants; poisonous Household Products The Cornell poisonous plants Home Page shows you what these plants look like and http://www.showcatsonline.com/poison_plants.htm

There are many products, plants and common household objects that can pose a danger to your cats. PandEcats.com has compiled three extensive lists of dangers that you must be aware of in order to safeguard your cat. Please take the time to review all three lists. If you know of something you think we should add to our lists, please Email Us Dangerous Objects Poisonous Plants Poisonous Household Products A cat will swallow a wide variety of objects that cannot pass through its digestive tract - a condition that often may require surgery to correct. Cats have barbs on their tongues and the roofs of their mouths that all point backwards. If a piece of string or tinsel gets in their mouths while playing, it's very difficult for them to spit it out. Long pieces of string, yarn, tinsel or rubber bands can end up tied tightly around tongues or may end up wrapped in a ball and blocking the intestines. Cats and especially kittens can become too inquisitive or playful, and become entangled in hanging things such as curtain cords or can become inadvertently locked in a clothes dryer if you leave the door open when not in use. In the same way that you childproof your home, so must you cat-proof for the safety of your feline friend. Put childproof latches on cupboards containing cleaning supplies, insecticides, and sewing utensils.

136. AILA Students The purpose of this paper is to create an awareness of poisonous plants amongst An early European encounter with poisonous plants in Australia came with http://www.aila.org.au/student/QUT-papers/TroyLehmann-02.htm

AUSTRALIAN INSTITUTE OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS students pages AILA Home Page students main page awards research ... conferences POISONOUS PLANTS IN THE LANDSCAPE Troy Lehmann 1st Year Graduate Diploma in Landscape Architecture Queensland University of Technology With such statistics as these, is there a reasonable cause for concern? There appears to be so as people are still being poisoned. According to National Hospital Admissions Data (Adler, 2000 p.26) approximately 243 people are admitted to hospital in Australia each year from plant related causes. Specific case details are unavailable, however given local and international reports, human plant poisoning occurs generally to the following groups: Figure 1: Duranta erecta, ingestion of the fruit by children is reported to have caused death (Tampion, 1977 p.25). Photo, Author. Where then does the design professional need to exercise caution with respect to the use of potentially hazardous plants? It would be responsible to exclude known hazardous plants from any situations where poisoning is likely to occur, be it human or animal. Knowledge of plant species and user groups is essential if this is to be achieved successfully. Very young children are particularly vulnerable to poisoning from ingestion and plants of a non-poisonous type should be the only species used where they play or where they could be a temptation.

137. Poinsettias Are Non-toxic, Despite The Persistent Myth! Medical Association s Handbook of poisonous and Injurious plants lists But if you believe that Poinsettias are poisonous, you re not alone. http://www.landsteward.org/page.cfm/21187

September 24, 2005 Home The Plant Man Article Archive > Poinsettias are non-toxic, despite the persistent myth! Poinsettias are non-toxic, despite the persistent myth! For me, Thanksgiving always seems to be the point where fall ends and winter begins. The official calendar may disagree with me, but with Thanksgiving behind us and Christmas less than a month away, I'm already thinking about next spring. For landscapers and gardeners, its not visions of sugar plums dancing in our heads. Rather, it's visions of fresh, green growth and emerging new buds that we know are just around the corner. Well, almost... First we must get through the rest of the Holidays with the minimum of stress! In my next column, I will suggest a few stocking stuffers (wheelbarrow stuffers?) for the gardeners on your list, or as "I-deserve-it" treats for yourself. But today, let's debunk a myth that seems to surface every year at about this time. The myth: Poinsettias are toxic.The reality: They're not. The origin of this misinformation apparently dates back to 1919 when the death of an army officer's two-year-old child was wrongly attributed to the ingestion of Poinsettia leaves. Since then, according to web sites such as www.truthorfiction.com the myth of the poisonous Poinsettia has continued to spread.

DO YOU HAVE POISONOUS WEEDS IN YOUR PASTURES AND FORAGES? Jerry Doll Extension Weed Scientist UW Agronomy Dept. 1575 Linden Dr., Madison, WI Introduction Livestock managers seem to have an increasing awareness that poisonous plants can affect livestock. Part of this is due to the ever increasing population of horse owners in Wisconsin and to the growth in management intensive grazing systems. Poisonous plant questions are also more frequent in dry years as droughts create situations in which animals often graze plants they would otherwise not eat and producers may harvest fields or plants that are not usually harvested to have adequate feed stock for the winter. Additionally, weeds not usually considered toxic might become poisonous under certain condition. For example, weeds may become more palatable to livestock following an herbicide application in a pasture or fencerow. This may result in animals eating plants they would normally avoid consuming. Weeds that are known nitrate accumulators (such as pigweeds and common lambsquarters) are particularly high in nitrate soon after a rain and grazing or feeding forage with these weeds under this condition could seriously affect animal health. Fortunately we have relatively few cases of animal deaths as a consequence of consuming poisonous plants.
