AB Ingestion  of  plants  is  one  of  the  top  10  causes  of  poisoning  nationwide.  Decorative  plants  are  found  in  many  homes,  and  home  landscaped  yards  provide  access  to  a  variety  of  attractive  and  potentially  toxic  plants.  Fortunately,  serious  poisoning  from  plants  is  rare  in  children  because  the  quantity  of  plant  material  required  to  cause  serious  poisoning  is  greater  than  what  a  small  child  ingests.  Serious  toxicity  or  death  from  plant  ingestion  is  usually  a  result  of  intentional  abuse  (eg,  jimson  weed),  misuse  (eg,  various  teas  steeped  from  plants),  or  suicide  attempts  (eg,  oleander).
