Guide To Plants That Are Actually Poisonous

Asparagus Berries

Asparagus berries are poisonous enough to cause serious digestive issues after individuals only consume a few. In fact, individuals shouldn't eat them under any circumstances. Though they may look delicious, asparagus berries aren't actually berries. Instead, they're technically seed pods. Each of the berries has three to four seeds. If individuals want to grow asparagus plants from the pods, they should pick the berries and let them dry on a natural basis in the sun. Then they should break the pod apart, separate the seeds, and plant them. Some individuals who eat asparagus berries experience an allergic reaction. In addition to being toxic to humans, the berries are also toxic to cats and dogs. Some of the most common symptoms of poisoning are abdominal pain and vomiting. In individuals with an allergic reaction, there's often a rash. If they're allergic, they might experience contact dermatitis when they touch the plants.
