This article identifies plants with acute toxicity potential and those safe for consumption. It provides tables detailing toxic plants, their toxicity categories, and management strategies, alongside edible plants with low toxicity.

Area of Science:

  • Toxicology
  • Botany
  • Ethnobotany

Background:

  • Understanding plant toxicity is crucial for public health and safety.
  • Distinguishing between toxic and edible plants prevents accidental poisoning.
  • Ethnobotanical knowledge often informs plant edibility and toxicity assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compile and present information on plants with acute toxicity potential.
  • To identify plants with a low toxic potential that have been used as food.
  • To provide management overviews for plant-induced acute toxicity.

Main Methods:

  • Compilation of data into two primary tabular formats.
  • Listing plants with reported acute toxicity, including specific toxicity categories.
  • Listing plants used as food, indicating low toxic potential.

Main Results:

  • A comprehensive table of plants with potential for acute toxicity.
  • A separate table of edible plants with minimal toxic potential.
  • Each toxic plant entry includes at least one toxicity category and management references.

Conclusions:

  • The article serves as a reference for identifying and managing plant-related acute toxicity.
  • It highlights the dual nature of plants, with some posing significant risks while others are safe for consumption.
  • Provides essential information for healthcare professionals and the public regarding plant safety.
