The toxicity level is low, but can produce short-lasting symptoms in children such as mouth pain, salivation, and some nausea. In rare instances, it can produce a dermatological reaction but is mainly toxic only if ingested.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These plants look great indoors with bold, bright leaves to inject colour into the home.<\/p>\n

Children touching the stems or leaves can cause skin irritation and possibly a rash and itching. <\/p>\n

Eating the leaves, stems, or sap can cause a burning sensation in the mouth and throat and lead to swelling<\/p>\n

Cats and dogs chewing or biting into this plant will release these crystals<\/span> causing tissue penetration and irritation of the mouth and GI tract, and can cause swelling in the airways.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Peace Lily<\/h3>\n

A Peace Lily plant makes the perfect centrepiece with its single blossoming flower and lush green leaves.<\/p>\n

Plus, this plant can also help detoxify in the room it's been put in says Toddleabout.<\/p>\n

But you might want to skip it if you have children or pets roaming around the home.<\/p>\n

Lily's are well-known to be toxic, like the elephant plant, it releases crystals that can block the airway in both children and pets and also cause skin irritation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

English Ivy<\/h3>\n

This ivy plant is well-loved for being able to climb over walls and trees adding a cottage-core vibe to any home.<\/p>\n

But this plant can cause a multitude of problems for children and pets.<\/p>\n

Ivy can cause severe skin irritation in children.<\/p>\n

Ingestion can cause even more problems such as burning in the mouth and throat, stupor, convulsions, fever, and rash. <\/p>\n

Usually, symptoms are only severe if large amounts of the plant are eaten.<\/p>\n

Dogs and cats can suffer from diarrhea, hyperactivity, gasping breaths, weakness, tremors, staggering, and vomiting.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This common plant is often given as a gift but can cause a problem for parents.<\/p>\n
