There have been several instances where people have died from eating meats that were roasted from a wood fire that contained Oleander twigs or branches. People have died from eating cakes decorated with oleander flowers. • Castor Bean • Ricinus communis • If the seed is swallowed without chewing, and there is no damage to the seed coat, it will most likely pass harmlessly through the digestive tract. However, if it is chewed or broken and then swallowed, the ricin toxin will be absorbed by the intestines. • Just one seed can kill a child, 8 seeds are considered toxic for an adult.

Bush Honeysuckles Bush Honeysuckles are inavasive species plants that grow quickly and agressivly diplacing other Plants. Bush Honeysuckles are harmful to plants, mammals, and wildlife. Of the roughly 2,300 inavasive plant species in Indiana, 25% are non native and are responsible for degrading and destroying thousands of acres of our natural plant communities of Indiana. Bush Honeysuckles where introduced to Northern America in late 1800s and 1900s. They are now reported to be found in 81 counties in Indiana.
This compound was once used as a pesticide for killing insects in stored grain. The elimination of this product has assisted my liver indirectly in living a longer and healthier life and acquiring a better nights sleep not having to worry about it. d) Trichloroethane was used as the key thinning ingredient in the liquid form of White Out. Fatalities were linked directly to this ingredient, and its subsequent elimination from the market has saved my emotions considerable effort considering my 6 year old son eats anything he can get his hands on, including glue and white out. e) Bromomethane is used to prepare Bermuda grass on golf courses.
Humans can get toxoplasmosis by consuming undercooked contaminated meat or food or water contaminated with the faeces of infected cats. Escherichia coli (E. coli) Escherichia coli, often known as E. coli, are bacteria found in the digestive systems of many animals, including humans. Most strains are harmless but some strains can cause serious illness. Most cases of E. coli food poisoning occur after eating undercooked beef (particularly mince, burgers and meatballs) or drinking unpasteurised milk. Low Risk Foods In simple terms this means food
Amphibians, reptiles, invertebrates and small mammals are part of their diet too. Unfortunately, eating these organisms can sometimes put endangered and rare species at a greater risk. Corn, barley, wheat, seed, grain and oat crops are the main vegetation that they feed on. Figure 1 & 2 (last page) shows the extent of feral pigs impact on threatened species in 2008. Feral pigs usually stay close to water so they can drink regularly and to control their body temperature, as they are extremely susceptible to heat.
Rhinos are also herbivores, meaning they are subject to grazing on grass, and some even prefer to eat the foliage of trees or even bushes. Rhinos are herbivores, meaning they eat only plants (1). They also have a prehensile upper lip that is ideally suited to help grasp grass (2), while other Rhinos prefer to eat the foliage of trees or bushes. With the Rhinos being herbivores, this eliminates the threat that they are to humans, unless of course a human
Environmentally, a positive impact is “as generalist feeders, they can have more than one food source and other insects are their prey (University of Arkansas division of agriculture, 2006). In the South Eastern United States, fire ants eat the natural predator of the sugar cane and cotton (Roberts, 2011). When fleas and ticks are involved, fire ants eat the larval and pupal stage fleas and ticks and reduce the chances of Lyme disease and other nasty diseases (Roberts, 2011). The negative impacts of fire ants on the environment are the disfiguring of landscapes, and the stinging of people, pets and livestock (Steven Tvedten. The Best Control (2nd Edition).
The rings of growth in the lawn are caused by the release of nutrients, specifically nitrogen because of the activity of the fungus living on organic matter in the soil. These organisms are mushroom or “puffball” forming fungi. Some mushrooms or puffballs are very poisonous when eaten and it is important that they are routinely destroyed if small children are likely to be attracted to them. There are three kinds of fairy rings. The first type has no mushrooms just stimulated grass growth revealing the activity of these fungi in soil.
Alexys Jones-Rice 1108 Lab Proposal 1 20 September 2011 Efficiency of Wood Finishing as a Termite Deterrent Introduction One look at a blind worker termite and the word that might pop into one’s head is helpless. However, many homeowner’s are now learning that these creatures may not be so helpless; instead they are causing billions of dollars worth of damages across the globe. One study in Indonesia estimates that in 1995 termites accounted for 200 million dollars worth of structural damage to buildings and 300 million dollars in 2005. (Hadi 2010). In order to control these termite invaders, chemical repellents such as hydroquinone and inoxcarb have been used to kill destructive termite species.
