The first is where small children ingest parts of household plants such as leaves or seeds. Most of these exposures are of minimal toxicity because of the small quantity of material ingested.1 More serious poisonings involve adults who deliberately consume raw plant material or tea made from a plant for mind-altering or medicinal effects.enHealth and Medical Publishing GroupPoisonous plantsArticle
