While many of us surround ourselves with houseplants and outdoor plants, we may not know if these plants are potentially poisonous. You might be surprised at how often people have potentially poisonous plants in and around their homes. Some plants and berries can be poisonous if eaten or chewed; some can be poisonous to touch.
