HARMFUL HOUSE PLANTS!!
Houseplants can be both beautiful and useful. However, quite a few of them can cause severe
discomfort, illness and even death if ingested. In some instances, contact should be avoided as well.
This isn’t to say that you shouldn’t continue to enjoy houseplants. However, you should be
careful to keep them out of reach of children and pets. And, with the safety of everyone in mind, you
may want to pass along these examples to friends and relatives who have children and pets in their
homes.
