Toxic Plant Species

Toxic plant species are plants that contain substances harmful to humans or animals if ingested, touched, or inhaled. These plants produce chemicals that can cause a range of health issues, from mild irritation to severe poisoning or even death. Common examples include poison ivy, which causes skin rashes, and certain types of seeds or berries that can be deadly if eaten. It's important to be aware of these plants in the environment, especially when gardening, hiking, or handling wild plants, to prevent accidental poisoning and ensure safety.
