About the event

Understanding Plant Toxicity
What makes a plant "poisonous"? UF Botanist Marc Frank explains why plants produce toxins, how they affect us, and how to stay safe.

About this Event

What exactly do we mean when we say a plant is poisonous? Why do plants produce poisonous compounds? What factors influence how our bodies react when we are exposed to poisons? And how do we avoid exposure to plant toxins? Marc Frank, Extension Botanist at the University of Florida Herbarium, will provide answers to these questions and help to dispel some common misconceptions about plant toxicity.

The event will be held in the Kenrick auditorium on the UF/IFAS Extension Manatee County grounds. The address is 1303 17th Street West, Palmetto, FL 34221.
