Bay leaf & Yew
Mike Lyle wrote:
[...] Actually, for that matter, even yew varies in toxicity from part to part: the coloured calyx is very sweet, and won't do you any harm in small quantities (don't tell children: they'e more susceptible, of course, and could easily swallow or bite the green seed because the flesh is so slippery). Ack!!! Me and my big keyboard! Of course, to be quite clear, the SEEDS of the yew tree ARE poisonous. It's only the pink, or occasionally yellow, fleshy bit that has quite a low concentration of the nasty stuff. Sorry I wasn't specific. -- Mike. |
