Frequently (and not so frequently) Asked Questions
BRIEF: Are the same plants that are poisonous to humans, poisonous to animals?
QUESTION:
Are the same plants, herbs etc., poisonous to humans, necessarily poisonous to
animals?
ANSWER:
No, many plants that make us sick can be eaten by animals. What is more,
animals can detoxify them and produce milk and meat that is safe for human
consumption. Occasionally, this wonderful system fails and animals can
pass toxins along to humans, but those are very rare exceptions we are on
the lookout for all the time!
