Basic Illustrated Poisonous and Psychoactive Plants (Basic Illustrated Series)

Received this book today and very happy with the photographs (for identifying plants) and the written information. It is advertised as a new book but as you can see from the photo I attached, there are 4 holes on the book cover and the first page has a part of the paper from the hole stuck on it. I am not asking for a refund, but in case Amazon keeps track of problems like this, I wanted to report it. I did give it a 4-star review but that has nothing to do with the holes. All-in-all, a good starter book.

Great pictures of the different plants. It also has enough information about each plant that I feel comfortable with being able to identify a plant/rash.I have sensitive skin and react to most plants or insects that come in contact with me. I garden a lot so this happens often.So, I got this so that when I get a rash I can look around where I was to identify the cause and treat it accordingly. I am so happy I purchased this! It will definitely be handy!

I like the clear photos of the plants

Short field guide for poisonous plants. Personally not really worth the purchase if you are searching for psychoactive but does have some common house plants that are poisonous with great description and detail of symptoms.

Anything from Jim Meunink is wonderful

Some of the photos were bad. He should have included a close up of the individual leaves. Maybe even a comparative photo ofarum / arrowhead as they look alike and are in the same community. The text reads as a medical text and not really "Basic"in presentation for the lay person.

I would have like a lot more information about contact dermatitis. I have lots of experience with that and I was hoping to find more information about what plants cause this. I'm sure I have many in my garden

jes what I axed fer

This book is soo knowable and even gives a first aid take on it aswell excellent book I really recommend it I find it amazing that there is plants that I have touched rolled around in played with when fishing as a boy turned out they could kill me or make me seriously ill and I didn't even know buy this book and gain knowledge

Nicely written. Good photographs.
