Page "Digitalis" Paragraph 16

In some instances, people have confused digitalis with the relatively harmless comfrey ( Symphytum ) plant, which is often brewed into a tea, with fatal consequences.

Other fatal accidents involve children drinking the water in a vase containing digitalis plants.

Drying does not reduce the toxicity of the plant.

The plant is toxic to animals, including all classes of livestock and poultry, as well as felines and canines.
