On a camping trip with your family, your children ask if they can pick some plants for part of their wilderness dinner. Based on your OEC training, you explain to your children that they need to be careful picking wild plants and flowers, and that:
a. plants that do not cause any local reaction when they are picked are safe to eat.
b. the worst that can happen from eating a bad plant is you will get sick to your stomach.
c. leaves may be poisonous but most berries found in the woods are safe to eat.
d. some plants can be very toxic, so it is best not to eat anything unless you are sure what it is.
