Whether they cause a respiratory allergy or are toxic if ingested or in contact with the skin, the list of 58 plants presenting a health risk drawn up by ANSES and the National Aerobiological Surveillance Network is available on the website : plantes-risque.info.
For each plant, the risks incurred, the toxic parts of the plant, the possible clinical signs in the event of exposure or the measures to be taken in the event of poisoning are detailed.
Since July 1, 2021, merchants have the obligation to inform consumers of the toxicity of certain plants sold commercially or on the internet and the precautions to take to avoid any poisoning. Customers are informed via a label or a poster placed near the plant.
In the event of severe disorders or vital distress occurring following ingesting part of the plant, coming into contact with it or inhaling its pollen, call 15 or 112. Call a veterinary poison control center in case of intoxication of your animal.
