Plants, flowers, and mushrooms are often beautiful to look at but many are poisonous. In some cases only part of a plant or flower is poisonous. A list of common poisonous plants can be found in the resource center. Tips to Prevent Plant Poisoning:

• Know the names of all the plants in your home and yard
• Label all plants with their names so you can identify a plant if it is eaten
• Keep house plants, seeds, and bulbs out of the reach of children and pets
• Do not eat wild plants or mushrooms; cooking poisonous plants does not make them safe to eat
• Remove mushrooms growing in your yard and throw them away in a covered garbage can
• Teach your children to never put any part of a plant into their mouths
• If you suspect a plant poisoning, remove any plant material from the victim’s mouth and call the GPC at 1-800-222-1222
