Recently I wo visiting at ?
neighbor's house sad com
mented on the pretty flowers
that were being displayed,
sad it ares mentioned that
they arete mountain laurel.
Upon hearing this I mention
ed that. "Gee. did you know
those things ate poisonous."
in4 the mother immediately
got upset sad indicated thai
lueir small child had been
enewmg on some ul the stems
that very day. Luckily the
child showed absolutely no
symptoms of plant poisoning,
but it is a known fact that
many plants that grow abun
dantly in this area are indeed
poisonous.
When are think about poi
sonous plants, one may auto
matically react by thinking
that it is necessary to ingest a
part of the plant for it to
create any problems. Yet.
oftentimes the singular most
common poisonous plant that
causes the most problems
locally is poison ivy. In my
own neighborhood there has
been enough Roundup used in
the last couple of years to
wipe out acres of other plants,
but poison ivy seems to be
able to resist attempts to
eliminate it much more than
most other plants. However,
it is definitely a poisonous
plant as many people who are
allergic to the chemicals that
are contained in the vines and
leaves can readily attest.
As a rule of thumfr. it is
probably beet lo keep in mind
that practically all ornamental
plants are poisonous in some
degree, especially those that
have a waiy outer appearan
ce. By making this statement,
I do not mean to say that all
Japanese holly or other orna
mental holly plants should be
destroyed: but it is important
to be aware that these plants
can cause poisoning if fed lo
animals or if chewed by
humans. Naturally, small
children are the most likely
candidates for problems asso
ciated with poison plants. So
the important thing is to be
sure and instruct children not
to chew on most plants and
especially those that the leav
es have a shinv. waav appear
mm.
I recall a number of years
ago an individual called us
that his goals a err
cxiremely sick M exhibited a
ih?uiki uci ok coordination
It.mii ius Ocwnpikin u sound
ed very much like some type ?
at poisoning. When I asked
him if the goats had eaten
anything out of the ordinan
recently, he quickly admitted
^that he had pruned all of his
Japanese holly shrubs and
had fed them to the goats.
None at the goats actually
died, but that was a lesson
that was learned almost the
hard way.
There are . numerous other
plants that practically every
one is quite familar with that
are known to be poisonous but
simply cause no problem
whatsoever. 'Jimson weeds
are quite poisonous but who
would ever eat a jimson
w eed? Also as may have been
observed, even in hog lots,
two or three jimson weeds
may be grow ing by themselv
es in the lot while there is
absolutely no other vegetation
in the entire lot. Thus, even
the hogs know to avoid
eating this particular plant.

Other weeds that quickly
