AB  - Different  portions  of  the  plant  (root,  stem,  leaves,  and  seeds)  often  contain  different  concentrations  of  a  chemical.The  age  of  the  plant  contributes  to  variability.  Young  plants  may  contain  more  or  less  of  some  constituents  than  mature  plants.Climate  and  soil  influence  the  synthesis  of  some  chemicals.Plants  contain  chemicals  that  may  exert  toxic  effects  on  skin,  lung,  cardiovascular  system,  liver,  kidney,  bladder,  blood,  central  and  peripheral  nervous  systems,  bone,  and  the  reproductive  system.Contact  dermatitis  and  photosensitivity  are  common  skin  reactions  with  many  plants.Gastrointestinal  effects  range  from  local  irritation  to  emesis  and/or  diarrhea.Cardiac  glycosides  in  the  leaves  or  seeds  of  many  plants  cause  nausea,  vomiting,  and  cardiac  arrhythmias  in  animals  and  humans.
