Name/description Picture Symptoms Treatment

Amaryllis (Amaryllis
belladonna) is an
ornamental plant
commonly sold for its
winter flowers. Ingesting
the bulbs has poisoned
humans.

American elder
(Sambucus canadensis)
is a native shrub found
in the moist soils of
swamps and along rivers
and lakes in eastern
Canada. Children were
poisoned after using the
hollow stems for
whistles. Ingesting
uncooked berries may
cause nausea.

American holly (Ilex

opaca) is an ornamental
shrub that provides
glossy green leaves and
red berries used in
Christmas decorations.
Ingested berries have
been implicated in cases
of poisoning of children.
The symptoms included
vomiting and diarrhea.
American mistletoe
(Phoradendron
flavescens) Ingesting a
large number of the
berries or tea made from
the berries has led to
poisoning and death in
humans. Mistletoe, used
as decorations at
Christmas, should be
kept out of the reach of
children and family pets.
Canada nettle (Laportea
canadensis) is found in
moist woods and along
streams. This plant has
stinging hairs on the
leaves and stem that
readily penetrate thin-
skinned areas on
humans. The tips of the
hairs break off, allowing
the contained liquid to
penetrate the body.
Intense localized itching
results. Applying water
to the surface of the
affected area can
increase the sensation;
this problem may persist
for several weeks.
Three Canadian plants
contain a poisonous sap
that is the causative
agent of Rhus-
dermatitis, the most
widespread skin disorder
affecting Canadians.
The three poisonous
plants are poison ivy
(Rhus radicans L.),
western poison oak
(Rhus diversiloba T. &
G.), and poison sumac
(Rhus vernix L.). Poison
ivy is the most common
and widespread plant of
the three.
