4 Poisonous Plants You SHOULD KNOW When Foraging!

Poisonous plants are an important thing to know when foraging wild edibles and medicinal plants, and in this video we cover 4 important ones that you should pay attention to. In the early spring during Morel season you might find a strange looking and unique plant known as Jack in the Pulpit. This plant is high in Oxalic Acid and can cause severe burning if ingested or through rough skin contact. Later in the summer you might come across another unique and strange looking plant known as Dolls Eyes or Baneberry. It get's its name from the white berries with black spots that resemble the eyes of a childhood doll. This plant is highly poisonous and can cause severe stomach upset or even worse if too much is consumed. We'll also take a look at the notorious poison ivy plant and compare it to another poisonous plant that many confuse with poison ivy known as Virginia Creeper. Lastly we'll look at the one of most deadly plants known to man, the Water Hemlock. This plant is so dangerous that a few grams of it can be fatal and it can be mistaken for edible plants like the wild carrot so it's important to know how to identify it so you don't poison yourself or your family.
