Over-two thirds of the U.S. population is allergic to poison oak, poison ivy, or a related plant. These and many other common plants in our homes, fields, and gardens are irritants that cause misery to many. But surprisingly, there has never been a general guide to help raise awareness of them--and to help avoid them. This new book reviews the history, occurrence, classification, toxicity, and health aspects of all the major allergenic and irritant species.
The Poisoned Weed: Plants Toxic to Skin
and over one million other books are available for Amazon Kindle.

This review is from: The Poisoned Weed: Plants Toxic to Skin (Hardcover)
Concise and precise. This is a very interesting and informative book for botanists (like myself), veterinarians and doctors. I recommend.
