RECOGNIZING POISONOUS PLANTS COULD SAVE A LIFE

Web site helps parents identify common plants that can be dangerous.

CARDIFF, CALIFORNIA - Most people recognize Mistletoe and
Holly Berries are fun Christmas decorations, but few recognize their
danger as poisonous plants. The same plants commonly used to
beautify yards and homes can also cause serious harm. Two million
children a year are poisoned, 300,000 by plants. A new web site,
ToxicPlants.com, is designed to help parents ensure their family
won't be victims.

ToxicPlants.com has detailed descriptions and pictures of 57
garden and house plants that can be poisonous. The poisonous effects
of these plants can be mild or serious. Daffodil and Tulip bulbs can
cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Morning Glory and Sweet Pea
plants can cause hallucinations, paralysis or death. One plant, Oleander
distributed throughout gardens and freeways of California contain oleandrin
so deadly that one leaf can kill a child.

Recognizing the poisonous plants featured, selected from
the Poison Control Center's list of plants, can save a life. For a
one-time payment of $4.98 parents can get unlimited access to
ToxicPlants.com's poison plant on-line picture book. New plant
descriptions are still being added. Review it and print it for quick
reference when shopping for house plants or planning a garden.

"This assortment is offered in the hope that we can save
even one child from poisoning or direct the use of even a single treatment
which would nullify or act as an antidote for any ingested plant poisons,"
said site creator Steve Davis. "This information should be seen by all
parents and teachers using school computers to inform and protect their
students.

Parents will be surprised at the poisonous effects of some of
the plants found in their own backyard's. To help protect children from
serious harm and injury, keep plants out of reach of young children. Teach
older children never to eat plants unless prepared and served at the
table. Even the vegetable garden can be dangerous since the leaves
of rhubarb, potato and tomato plants are poisonous.
