Summer Sweden toxic plant crooks – Aftonbladet

Environment. There is a shortage of poisonous plants in Sweden, but there are seven green villains should learn by heart to avoid being poisoned.

Anyone who has learned not to eat unknown mushrooms do not have much to worry about in Swedish forests and gardens. According Torbjörn Tyler, curator, Museum of Biology at Lund University, has many flowers and plants an undeserved reputation married. There are really only seven men to look out for.

– There are plants you can die if you eat large quantities, but most considered to be toxic required either to eat very much, so they taste so bad that it would not be possible to get itself anyway, he says.

HH: is there any common characteristics among the poisonous plants?

– no, really that simple, but it is so few species so I think we should be able to learn them by heart, he says.

the best advice according Torbjörn Tyler is not to eat the plants they do not recognize.

– it may seem obvious, but unfortunately it has become something of a trend that you should go out and pick weeds and eat, I get a lot of questions from people who send images of plants and ask if they are going to eat, it seems a little careless, he said.
