[angelaturkey]

:388dd: - and I always did love daffodiles - until today.s Fact Of The Day on the BBC Website.... QUOTE: All parts of the daffodil are poisonous. An extract of daffodil bulbs, when applied to open wounds, produces staggering, numbness of the whole nervous system, and paralysis of the heart. If you are trapped in a small space with a daffodil, it will give you a headache. There have been several cases of death by daffodil poisoning in which the bulbs were eaten in mistake for onions.... :UNQUOTE :388dd:

Had to take my daughter to hospital after she ate a daffodil bulb by mistake she thought it was an onion. They kept her in and when we asked how long she would be there they told us she would be out in spring,,,,,,
