"Common Poisonous Plants of New England" by Jr. Heber W. Youngken and Joseph S. Karas is a scientific publication prepared for educational and public health purposes in the early 1960s. The book serves as an informative guide that aims to educate readers about various poisonous plants found in the New England region, detailing their identification, toxic properties, and first-aid measures for poisoning incidents. The content of the book is organized by plant, each entry including descriptions, illustrations, and information on the toxic parts of the plants. It discusses well-known poisonous species such as Amanita mushrooms, poison ivy, and the deadly nightshade, providing information on the symptoms and potential treatments for poisoning. This educational resource not only distinguishes between safe and harmful plants but also offers a practical approach to preventing accidental poisonings, equipping families and healthcare providers with essential knowledge for safe gardening and plant identification. The inclusion of contact information for Poison Control Centers further emphasizes the book's commitment to public safety. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
