Some of the most poisonous plants that look beautiful
From the outside, it looks beautiful, cute, romantic, and innocent. But who would have thought, these plants actually contain poison that can kill humans. Anyone can be killed, anyone who is nosy eats it. But some are already poisonous even though we only touch them or even see them. Wow!
Here are some of the most poisonous plants in the world, but with a cute and innocent look :
Castor Plant ( Ricinus communis )
This plant is indeed a lot around us. But you know, this is one of the most poisonous plants in the world. One seed can kill an adult in one minute! No wonder no one dares to snack on castor beans, huh?
Rhododendrons and Azaleas
Who is not amazed by the beauty of these two closely related types of flowers? But don't be fooled by its external beauty, this plant contains toxins in it that can cause paralysis, coma, and death. The name of the poison is quite cool, namely Andromedatoxin.
Nightshade ( Solanum )
Also known as the death cherry, this plant is not only poisonous, but from top to bottom, it is all poisonous. Even eating a small portion of this plant will cause the first symptom: loss of voice. The problem is, this berry tastes sweet, so it tempts anyone to eat it.
Buttercup ( Ranunculus )
Even though it looks pretty and cute, this flower is also known as a killer flower. There is no need to eat it, just touching it will cause a burning sensation accompanied by redness marks. Eating it would result in a very painful death.
Gympie Gympie ( Dendrocnide moroides )
Perhaps this seemingly ordinary plant was not deadly, but its poison was very painful. Witnesses who survived said it felt like being scalded. Are they alive? You say it's dangerous? Yes, it is not uncommon for victims of this plant to commit suicide due to unimaginable pain.
Larkspur ( Delphinium )
Beautiful blue flowers attract our hearts to plant them in our garden. But be careful, touching it will irritate the skin. Eating it, moreover it can cause the body to go into convulsions and then experience paralysis.
Fairy Bells ( Digitalis purpurea )
From its pretty pink shape and color, it's no wonder this flower has a pretty name. But don't be fooled, this plant contains Digitoxin poison which causes heart attacks that lead to death.
Windflower ( Anemone nemorosa )
Seeing the tiny white flowers, maybe these flowers look suitable as a bouquet for your loved one. But there, you will be slapped. The problem is touching it will cause a burning sensation. Especially if it is used for fresh vegetables. You will end.
Manchineel ( Hippomane mancinella )
This plant is also called the little apple that brings death because of its apple-like shape. Since many mistake this tree for an apple tree, there are often warnings around this tree like the words "Do not approach". Well, it means that trees are given the prohibition "No approaching", you can only imagine how poisonous this plant is.
If you take shelter under this tree when it rains, your body will burn because the mixture of the sap of this plant hits you with rainwater. Even if you burn any part of the tree, the smoke alone can blind you. Especially if you are tempted to eat this delicious looking fruit, you are just waiting for the time to rest forever.
Golden Chain ( Laburnum anagyroides )
I think these are the most beautiful plants on this list. With their attractive yellow color, they certainly look like golden cherry blossoms. However, this plant contains lupine which is very dangerous. The fruit is also very similar to nuts so you have to be careful not to eat the wrong thing.
Oleander ( Nerium oleander )
This plant is widely grown as an ornamental plant because of the beauty of its flowers. But make no mistake, all parts of this plant are very poisonous. Even one leaf is enough to kill an adult human if eaten. Because it is so poisonous, suicide perpetrators often use it as a way to end their life by consuming tea made from this plant extract.
that is, a plant that appears defenseless but is very deadly. We have to be careful, because some are already around us. So we have to respect all forms of life. Don't eat obscure leaves in the garden. hahaha.
