Fauna and Flora are essential for human sustenance. Plants are the most benign form of life on the plant. But that may not be true for all the plants. Over millennia, through the process of natural selection, plants have evolved the means to produce a vast and complicated array of chemical compounds in order to deter herbivores. So some plant species may be very hazardous to humans. From the death of Socrates by poison hemlock to the accidental ingestion of deadly nightshade by children, poisonous plants have been responsible for human deaths throughout history.
Some plants can be poisonous if you eat them. Others can hurt you if you get them on your skin. For some plants, all parts of the plant are poisonous. For others, only certain parts of the plant are harmful. The danger can range from mild irritation to severe illness or death. Keep your kids and pets away from these culprits . They may look harmless enough, but plants can harbor some of the most deadly poisons known.
Check out some of those infamous plants that you need to stay away from.
