Toxic Plant Atlas
With spring rapidly approaching, it is quite appropriate to provide a toxic plant and mushroom atlas for the primary care practitioner. There are almost 50,000 plant exposures called into Poison Information Centers annually; this accounts for approximately 7% of all calls. Most of these cases are unintentional ingestions in children under the age of 5-year old. Less than 10% of these exposures develop symptoms—gastrointestinal and dermatological (usually a contact dermatitis) accounting for approximately 80% of these symptoms. (Source: Disease a Month)

was identified as an increasingly significant health care problem in the late 1980s.

Foreward
Natural rubber latex allergy has been increasingly recognized as a relatively common cause of allergic symptoms ranging from mild contact dermatitis to anaphylaxis, especially in individuals in the healthcare/clinical environment through either direct contact or by inhalation. It has also been associated with certain foods (such as avocados, bananas, chestnuts, kiwi, tomatoes, and passion fruit) that may contain similar allergens that are found in latex. Approximately one-half of all individuals with a latex allergy will have a history of another type of allergy. (Source: Disease a Month)
