| Poisonous flowers alert |
Even the small blue berries from ivy are dangerous. Indeed, flowers and berries are especially dangerous for 2 and 3-year-olds, since they are so prone to putting such things into their mouth.
In the event of poisoning, parents should never try to force their child to vomit. First, parents should get the child to have a drink of water or tea. Then consult a doctor or a poison control center. Milk and salt water solutions are not advisable, reports the group, The Safe House.
If breathing problems or other serious conditions arise, parents should alert emergency services.
