What else it is worth being afraid of
All parts of a volcheyagodnik are fatally poisonous (Dafna deadly). It is a bush with the red fruits similar to berries of felt cherry. Fruits of such bushes as Tunberg's barberry, a snezhnoyagodnik, a honeysuckle, a cheremuzha, various forms of elder ordinary are dangerous. If these berries the adult gorges on, he can manage unpleasant consequences, consequences for the child can be dangerous.
The clematis loved by many, as well as many other plants of family of a crowfoot family, is poisonous. Besides, lacteal juice of this plant causes burns and strong allergic reaction in children. The yew which is often used as a green hedge is very poisonous. At a yew all parts of a plant, except red-orange fruits which, however, too you should not try are poisonous.
You should not be fond of landings near the playground and such plants which possess strongly expressed smell: fragrant tobacco, mattiola, lily, meadowsweet. These plants attract insects who can be dangerous to the kid. If the child is inclined to allergies, then blossoming of a birch, poplar, an alder, a filbert, willows will cause in it cold and tears. The same reaction can repeat when blossoming dandelions, cereals, meadow herbs (a herd grass, a meadow grass, an orach, etc.)
You should not mow and uproot all the flower beds, of course. If any dangerous plant already is on the site, transfer it far away from a children's corner or refuse its cultivation for a while — so far the child will not grow up. You watch closely the fidget, in due time explain to him that not all florets and leaflets can be broken.
