Some plants from the family Solanaceae are usually not eaten by any animal for their toxicity which can range from mildly irritating to deadly. Some plants in this family are the deadly nighshade, datura, and the angel's Trumpet. Other plants from this family that are not harmful: eggplants, potatoes, tomatoes, and capsicum. (potatoes if left in the sunlight for too long can be poisonous, and tomato vines and leaves are poisonous.) All parts of Brugmansia genus of plants are dangerous to animals and humans. If ingested this plant may cause death. Others that are dangerous to most herbivores (and are not usually eaten by them): garlic, onions, wolfsbane, castor oil plant, daphne (berries), hemlock, poison ivy, arum lily, and white snakeroot. Plants that are poisonous to some animals may not be poisonous to others.
