Common Dangerous Plants
There are plenty of plants that adorn the gardens of the Costa Blanca but several can be poisonous.
Below we list the plants that are potentially harmful if eaten. Particular care should be taken with children, not just with them eating the berries, but also the flowers and leaves. Bright colours are fascinating to small children and lots of young children put things in their mouths.
If a child does eat some form of a plant make sure you take it with you to show the doctor if medical attention is required.
Some poisonous plants:
• Oleander
• Laurel
• Lily of the valley
• Poppy
• Laburnum
• Aconite
• Lupin pods
• Wisteria pods
• Poinsettia
• Holly berries
• Rhododendron
• Spider plant
A warning to adults is to be careful what you use to decorate food with. It can be tempting to use flowers and leaves to dress salads or put on the barbecue to add flavour but unless you are absolutely sure you are using a herb this should be avoided. Some plants can be extremely poisonous and can kill.
