Elderly Woman Was Hospitalized After Being Poisoned by a Common Plant

An elderly woman was rushed to the hospital after becoming seriously ill following contact with what appeared to be an ordinary plant growing near her home. She had spent part of the afternoon tending to her garden and initially thought nothing of handling the unfamiliar leaves, but several hours later she began feeling increasingly unwell.
