Daffodil
Daffodils are one of the most common plants found in our backyards. These bright yellow beauties captivate anyone’s eye and are one of the first to break through winter’s grasp. But they’re incredibly poisonous. Luckily, accidentally ingesting a daffodil doesn’t immediately kill you if you seek help quickly. If left untreated, though, it can be fatal to small children and pets. There are two toxins in daffodils, lycorine, and oxalates. Though the oxalates are a lot more poisonous and found in the plant’s bulb. After ingesting the bulb, the consumer will experience difficulty swallowing, throat pain, and severe drooling. This is because the chemical is microscopic and needle-like and irritates the tongue, lips, and throat. Symptoms will last about three hours (Poison Control).
