APPENDIX B<br />
POISONOUS PLANTS<br />
APPENDIX B<br />
Many popular house and garden plants are considered poisonous and can produce symptoms ranging from minor to severe. This list is not exhaustive, but<br />
gives a listing of some of the most popular plantings which are known to be poisonous, as well as non-poisonous selections. <strong>The</strong> list is provided by the U.S.<br />
Army Corps of Engineers. Check with local extensions of the US Department of Agriculture and local poison control centers for more information about the<br />
nature of common plantings in specific locations.<br />
Toxic levels are based on the best information available; however, precise scientific data is not available. Toxicity is subject to numerous variables, including<br />
quantity, exposure, and individual reactions.<br />
Plants on the high toxicity list are known to have caused death and could be hazardous with very little exposure. DO NOT USE. Plants on the medium<br />
toxicity list have toxic parts, but deaths have been rare, usually after prolonged exposure or consuming large quantities. Do not use these plants inside the<br />
play yard. Plants on the low toxicity list include those that may cause a rash or dermititis. Use these plants with caution.<br />
<strong>The</strong> designer shall research the toxicity of all plants specified.<br />
