many plants produce just irritants (buttercups, Ginkgo, spurges)<br />
Real toxins are Internally metabolic T. or causing allergic dermatitis<br />
Mushrooms esp amatoxins from genera Amanita, Cortinarius (liver dam)<br />
Alkaloid toxins in: Wisteria, Galanthus (snowdrop), Clivia, Crinum, Amaryllis,<br />
Narcissus, Taxus, Colchicum , Gloriosa<br />
Nitrate poisoning through plants: Amamranthus (pigweeds), Ambrosia<br />
(ragweeds), Datura (Jimson weed) etc. take up large amount <strong>of</strong> nitrate<br />
especially when late fertilization & harvesting in the morning:<br />
nitrate in high concentration is <strong>toxic</strong> poison to mammals<br />
Toxic amines in: Microcystis (blue-green algae), claviceps (ergot),<br />
Phoradendron (mistletoe), Blighia (akee), Lathyrus (sweet peas)<br />
Toxic resins in: Cicuta (water hemlock), Asclepias (milkweeds), Ledum<br />
(Labrador tea), Arum maculatum (lords-& ladies)<br />
