A few times, I’ve run across an Observation with a description or comment along the lines of “hey my kid/nephew/canary/whatever just ate this plant, is it poisonous? Urgent!!”.
I’m not sure what to do with these, other than tell the poster “please immediately call a doctor if you are concerned”. I like to also note that it often takes time for Observations to get a decisive ID.
Usually I don’t know what the plant is, as I’m still a beginner here. Regardless – whether I recognize it or not, and whether it is poisonous or not – what ought I to do?
I’d like to know what you guys recommend saying or doing.
(I’d also like to know why the #### concerned parents don’t call a doctor or poison helpline first thing!)
