My feeling is that dissemination of information about poisonous species is likely to save more lives than hiding it, and that accidental poisonings are a far bigger problem than murder.

Also, poisonous mushrooms are everywhere. It is hard to go for a walk anyplace wet enough to have mushrooms without seeing poisonous mushrooms.

I live in a flat complex. I just need to go to the yard to see (, sometimes even lethally,) poisonous mushrooms and -plants. I’ve informed parents of small children who play in the yard about them. Last Summer I also informed the city greenery unit about poisonous plants spreading around an outdoor children’s pool at the local swim hall. They got removed in two days with thanks. I’m pretty sure doing that saves far more lives, as said.
