Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed 6,492 cases of plant exposure reported to a US poison control center from 2003 to 2010, focusing on demographics, exposure types, symptoms, and outcomes.
- The majority of cases were unintentional, mostly occurring at home, with ingestions being the most common exposure type; notable plants included cactus and oleander.
- Despite nearly half of the patients showing symptoms, very few required hospitalization, and certain factors like abnormal vital signs and intentional exposure heightened the risk for more severe outcomes.
