I never even thought much about these plants and shrubs until we moved to Arizona back in the 60s... Everything out there that was beautiful seemed to be poisoning. Then like TucsonJim says if that doesn't kill you then all of the Rattlesnakes, Scorpions, and Gila Monsters will.
The houses there all had the SWAMP COOLERs mounted on the roof and you had to climb up there to clean out the filters. The first thing you had to do was arm your self with Wasp Spray and kill out all of the black widow spiders haha... Uh they are wrong when they say you will only find one living together haha...
The Shurb plant we saw just about everywhere there was the Oleanders Shurb with the most beautiful flowers on them...
Never hear of anyone out there making sassafras tea from plant roots... The old rule of thumb was if the roots smell like old fashion root beer it will be good for making tea.
