Written in easy-to-understand language and beautifully illustrated with colour photographs to aid plant identification, this book will help identify plants that may cause poisoning, allergies or skin reactions in people. It includes hints on how to avoid plant poisoning and what to do if poisoning does occur.
A simple colour coding system has been used to establish how toxic each plant is. Also details which parts of the plant are poisonous and the toxins that are likely to be encountered, as well as symptoms of poisoning.
