This review is from: Ama Handbook of Poisonous and Injurious Plants (Paperback)

This is a good reference for anyone interested in information on the effects of plant poisoning. It is obviously written for people in the medical profession and will be a bit over the top for anyone who isn't familiar with medical vocabulary. The only shortcomings I have found with this is the lack of definative information on the amounts necessary for effects to be seen and the lack of emergency measures to be taken in case of poisoning. It is a shame that this book is currently out of print. It is certainly worth hunting down at the local library or used book store.
