The most harmful indoor plants are considered to be representatives of the family of aroids. They are very beautiful and seemingly no danger. The most common of them - philodendron, diffenbachia, colocaia and many more.
These plants contain poisonous juice, which can cause your animals to swell the larynx, and if caught in the eyes - irreversible changes in the cornea. If your cat eats a piece of monster leaf, it will start burning tongue, all mouth and throat. Then, blisters may appear. And if she swallows a piece of a sheet of dienenbachia, then in addition to the same burning sensation, she can also suffocate. Liana in its composition contains a poison in which your pet can begin diarrhea.
No less dangerous for your animals are the family of euphorbia, for example, spurge and croton. The representatives of this family have resins containing poisonous substances. If an animal regains one of these plants, poisoning is guaranteed that will lead to such consequences as burns, ulcers, temporary blindness, inflammation of the oral cavity may occur, gastrointestinal tract and nervous regulation may be disturbed. These plants can even not eat. After all, with one touch to them, their juice immediately gets on the skin or mucous membrane and leaves its mark.
The family of Amaryllas can also harm your pet. For example, such representatives as hippeastrum, hemanthos, cleavia, eucharis, etc. Leaves, peduncles and scales of bulbs in most of these houseplants, which are harmful to health, have cavities that contain a lot of mucus, which results from damage. This same feature applies to garden members of this family, such as white-flowered, narcissus and galanthus.
Cut farmers can also harm your pet. In adenium, allamande, mandewille, catarratus, oleander, pachipodium and rauvolphia, there are many alkaloids and glycosides. When ingested, they can provoke a violation of the heart and nervous regulation. And they may, perhaps, harm the small animals more significantly, sometimes a lethal outcome is observed.
The animals and birds are very attracted by the brightness of the fruits and flowers of the plants of the Solanaceae family. Here we can include bralia, brusenfeldsiyu, brugsmansiyu and solandra. Due to the fact that they have beautiful flowers, are popular in the garden and house plants such as petunia and fragrant tobacco. Bellaria and dope are inhabited in vacant lots and garbage heaps. But few people know that all parts of these plants contain poisonous alkaloids. They are very dangerous, cause nausea, vomiting and drowsiness.
Every year, more and more are becoming popular in gardening coniferous, but in their environment you can meet treacherous representatives. In ancient times, when it was necessary to poison a person, he was allowed to drink wine from a goblet cut from a yew tree. In this plant, the poison is distributed unevenly. Here there is a tendency that the needle, which is older, contains more poison. This toxin can cause irritation of the gastrointestinal mucosa, vomiting, diarrhea, it will significantly affect cardiac activity and can stop breathing.
Leaves and flowers of hydrangeas can also cause harm to health, because they contain cyanide ions, which show their poison when contact occurs with water or saliva.
Fatsia contains toxic substances that can easily cause disorders of the nervous system. Essential oils in pelargonium irritate mucous membranes in small birds. All known ivy carries a special danger to rodents. Our favorite and unsurpassed aloe can easily cause an attack of diarrhea in almost every pet.
In order for your pets to not harm themselves, you must limit their access to plants. To do this, you simply simply need to remove the uh to an unreachable distance or height. If you live at home a dog or rodents, you just need to hang harmful flowers and plants at a sufficient height or even put them on the cabinet. If you are the owner of a bird, it will be enough to hide your vases on the windowsill and close them to access with curtains or use blinds for this purpose. It is much harder for the owners of the ubiquitous cats, because they can climb up and on the windowsill and try to get to the suspended pots in any way. In this case, you need to carefully consider the choice of new plants, or give someone dangerous plants that you already have.
But if you learned too late that there are houseplants that are harmful, and even very dangerous for the health of a four-legged pet, and your favorite pet has reached the plant, he needs first aid. In this case, wash the mucous membranes and give activated charcoal with plenty of water. The thorny splinter should be removed, and if it has a damaged surface - treat it. But remember that you need to deliver it to the vet as soon as possible. After all, your animal could eat a harmful plant when you were not at home, and, as is known, in such cases every minute is expensive. But still, we recommend that you get rid of such indoor plants, because they can not only harm your animals, but you or your child. In life, everything happens, and it is better if you can remove the possible reason for this "all" from your house.
