        abstract = {Plant-derived toxins present significant health risks to humans and animals, with various species containing harmful compounds. This review synthesizes recent research on poisonous plants, highlighting key species such as Ricinus communis (ricin) and Colchicum autumnale (colchicine) for their toxic effects. Common garden plants like Dieffenbachia picta also pose risks, especially to children. The persistence of these toxins in the environment, particularly through invasive species, compounds their threat to public health. Advances in forensic toxicology, including liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), have improved the detection of these compounds, aiding criminal investigations. Understanding plant poisons not only enhances public health risk assessments but also supports forensic efforts in poisoning cases.},
