Nightshade often poisons children who are tempted to eat the bright-red berries. POISONOUS PLANTS OF NORTH IDAHO Plants that Bite Back! Every year, many adults and children become seriously ill by consuming poisonous wild plants. Sometimes this poisoning is accidental, and sometimes poisoning is the result of the misidentification or misuse of medicinal herbs. Our beloved animal companions (dogs, horses, llamas, etc.) may also fall victim to poisonous plants. As a public service, the Idaho Panhandle National Forests has prepared this brief guide to the poisonous plants commonly found in northern Idaho. We hope this information enhances your recreation experience. Most of the flowers and plants in the forest are harmless, so please don't think that the woods are full of danger. Take the time to be informed and enjoy nature in a safe and informed way. For more information on poisonous plants, contact your public library or your local National Forest botanist.
