Amaryllis (Amaryllis belladonna) is an ornamental plant commonly sold for its winter flowers. Ingesting the bulbs has poisoned humans. American elder (Sambucus canadensis) is a native shrub found in the moist soils of swamps and along rivers and lakes in eastern Canada. Children were poisoned after using the hollow stems for whistles. Ingesting uncooked berries may cause nausea.

American holly (Ilex opaca) is an ornamental shrub that provides glossy green leaves and red berries used in Christmas decorations. Ingested berries have been implicated in cases of poisoning of children. The symptoms included vomiting and diarrhea. American mistletoe (Phoradendron flavescens) Ingesting a large number of the berries or tea made from the berries has led to poisoning and death in humans. Mistletoe, used as decorations at Christmas, should be kept out of the reach of children and family pets.

Canada nettle (Laportea canadensis) is found in moist woods and along streams. This plant has stinging hairs on the leaves and stem that readily penetrate thinskinned areas on humans. The tips of the hairs break off, allowing the contained liquid to penetrate the body. Intense localized itching results. Applying water to the surface of the affected area can increase the sensation; this problem may persist for several weeks. Three Canadian plants contain a poisonous sap that is the causative agent of Rhusdermatitis, the most widespread skin disorder affecting Canadians. The three poisonous plants are poison ivy (Rhus radicans L.), western poison oak (Rhus diversiloba T. & G.), and poison sumac (Rhus vernix L.). Poison ivy is the most common and widespread plant of the three.
