TOXIC HERBS

Here is a list of plants that can be toxic to people and animals. Some people can be allergic to any herb so do your research. These toxic herbs should never be burnt as incense, never be rubbed on the skin, never be ingested and never be inhaled. This list does not include all the potentially toxic herbs.

The amount of poison in a plant tends to vary with location, age of plant, season, weather conditions. In some plants, the toxin is confined only to certain parts. Additionally, plants normally considered non-toxic may have been treated with an insecticide, making them toxic.
