Castor plant

The castor bean plant is a self-growing weed that has toxic seeds, flowers, and leaves. Chewing or swallowing its seeds can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. It has a very striking color for children and pets so you will have to take special care and if you get rid of this plant, much better.

Coral tree

The coral tree has poisonous leaves, bark, and seeds. The seeds are toxic to people and very dangerous for children. They can cause shortness of breath, cyanosis (the skin turns blue because the blood is not getting enough oxygen), weakness, and dizziness.

Rosa adelfa

The rose oleander is a flower that, although it is very beautiful, is very poisonous and better if you do not have it in your home. Every part of the bush of this flower including the bush and the seeds are poisonous. Symptoms when chewing this flower include hallucinations, vomiting, dizziness, diarrhea, tachycardia, dilated pupils, and even coma and death can occur.

Belladona

The attractive round purple and black berries of this plant are highly toxic. Eating these berries can cause drowsiness, flushing, fever, vomiting, confusion, and hallucinations. This plant is especially dangerous for children and pets, so if you can not have it in your garden, all the better!
