Of the enormous number of calls regarding toxic and nontoxic plant ingestions received by the Florida Poison Information and Toxicology Resource Center each year, the majority are about accidental ingestions in the pediatric population. These tend to involve household plants ranging from nontoxic to those with life-threatening cardiotoxicity. Several recent cases of ingestions with the intent of producing hallucinogenic effects have been presented to the Poison Center. Other misadventures have resulted from the similar appearance of toxic and nontoxic plants. The three poison centers in Florida have access to toxicologic consultation to help the clinician assess the severity of a plant poisoning and to guide in treatment decisions.
佛罗里达中毒信息与毒理学资源中心每年接到大量关于有毒和无毒植物误食的咨询电话，其中大部分是关于儿童意外误食的情况。这些误食事件往往涉及从无毒到具有危及生命的心脏毒性的各类家养植物。最近有几起因企图产生致幻效果而误食植物的案例被提交到了中毒控制中心。其他意外情况则是由于有毒植物和无毒植物外观相似导致的。佛罗里达州的三个中毒控制中心可以获得毒理学咨询服务，以帮助临床医生评估植物中毒的严重程度并指导治疗决策。
