| Sumario: | "Toxic plants affect the skin of almost everyone on earth. Many such "dermatotoxic" species were well known to the Ancients and later generated centuries of medical research, but The Poisoned Weed is the first comprehensive book specifically about this topic. Crosby covers a wide range of these plants. He reveals the toxic hazards presented by common garden foods; the history and identification of poison ivy; potential job-related exposure; the unexpected hazards of aromatherapy; and how best to avoid or treat the adverse health effects of dermatotoxic plants. Readers may consult the glossary and extensive references as well as indices for both common and scientific plant names. This resource accommodates a broad range of readers in a subject that ultimately affects us all."--Jacket |
