| Armoracia rusticana | Aerospace | Horseradish is a cultivated plant that can persist after cultivation. The plant contains glucosinolates, which can cause toxicity in livestock. Irritation of the mucous membranes can occur in humans who grind the roots to produce horseradish condiment. See the notes under Brassica oleracea for more information on these chemicals. Under normal circumstances horseradish is safe. Horseradish contains glucosinolates which, if ingested in sufficient quantities, can cause poisoning (Fenwick et al. 1989). See the notes under Brassica oleracea for a discussion on this chemical and its affects on livestock and humans. Swine have been poisoned after ingesting of horseradish root equal to 1% of body weight. The animals suffer acute inflammation of the mucous membranes of the stomach as well as pain, followed by collapse and death (Kingsbury 1964). General symptoms of poisoning: 1- Humans and Swine: a- collapse; and b- death. (references) | |
