From leaf to stem to branch, mountain laurel is poisonous in all its forms. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says it can even be fatal to both humans and some animals. The way it takes victims out isn’t overly pleasant either. Consume it in high enough quantities and your lips, mouth and throat burn. Nausea and vomiting, drowsiness, convulsions, and increasingly paralysis follow. Then comes coma and death. Even honey made from mountain laurel pollen is toxic.
Photographed in Arnolds Arboretum (Boston, MA). PS CC, Topaz.
