Don’t let your child “play cooking" with the seeds or pods of the wisteria. They can cause either a mild or very severe digestive upset. Sometimes children pick green leaves and eat them. The leaves of the tomato or Irish potato plants can cause cardiac depression, which can be fatal. Daffodil, jonquil and narcissus bulbs may look like spring onions to a child. Their ingestion can cause severe gastrointestinal problems. Any part of the azalea or rhododendron, when eaten, can produce nausea, difficult breathing and death. Our beautiful southern Oleander, so familiar and seemingly harmless, con tains a deadly heart stimulant similar to digitalis, a drug. A single oleander leaf can kill a person. Deaths have resulted from spearing weiners on an oleander branch for roasting over a fire. Two plants, Elephant Ear and Dumbcane iDief fenbachia) may bring death as a result of the swelling of the tongue that results in blockage of the air passage. Even if death doesn't result, one bite can cause bleeding and intense pain to the tongue. Frequently children like to emulate bees and suck the nectar from flowers. The foliage, seeds, or nectar from flowers of the common Yellow Jessamine causes convulsions, depression, and respiratory failure.
