These are the 5 most dangerous plants in Chile

In Chile, there are various toxic plants which, although many are used in gardens for their striking appearance, represent a risk of poisoning. Spring is especially delicate, since the outbreak of vibrantly colored flowers can attract the attention of children and pets, who can ingest their toxic parts.

According to specialists, the toxicity of these plants can produce harmful effects on health, the most frequent cases being those derived from their accidental consumption. The common Aconite plant, also known as devil’s helmet or wolfsbane, is one of the most poisonous. This plant grows in humid and shady places, and is highly toxicespecially in its leaves and roots. Accidental ingestion of any part of this plant can cause serious symptoms, such as respiratory problems and alterations in heart rhythm, due to the presence of alkaloids that affect the central nervous system.
