Be Very Careful when you are gardening!Here you will learn how to recognize some poisonous plants. It is hard to believe how noxious these plants are - Lily-of-the-Valley (Convallaria majalis), Poison Ivy and Foxglove(Digitalis) can cause immense discomfort and possibly death.Here you will not only see what the plants look like, so that you can identify them, but there are also some photographs of precisely how badly skin can be affected by poisonous ivy. They are a bit lurid, but you can just skim over them if you don't like to look at nasty skin allergy picturesImage: ' Ivy' - by MuchaAs I have myself suffered from severe skin burning from Hellebore sap, in summer 2009, I feel impelled to preach about poisonous plants, and there is no better health warning than showing people what can result from touching innocuous-looking plants.So, no apologies - if it saves just one person from pain and suffering, then I have done what I have set out to do.
