AB  - The  vast  majority  of  plant  exposures  are  unintentional  and  involve  small  quantities  and  are  typically  asymptomatic.Gastrointestinal  upset  is  the  most  common  manifestation  of  symptomatic  exposures.Foxglove,  oleander,  and  lily  of  the  valley  are  among  several  species  of  plants  that  contain  cardiac  glycosides  and  may  cause  toxicity  similar  to  digoxin  poisoning.The  typical  mushroom  ingestion  by  children  involves  the  “backyard  mushroom”  and  toxicity  is  unlikely.The  majority  of  toxic  mushrooms  taken  belong  to  the  gastrointestinal  irritant  group,  and  symptoms  occur  within  the  first  few  hours  of  ingestion.Most  potentially  life-threatening  mushrooms  will  have  an  onset  of  symptoms  6–8  hours,  or  even  longer,  after  ingestion.
