ExpressionsDomainDefinition
California bluebellAerospaceCalifornia bluebell has been found near Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., where it was probably introduced. This plant causes dermatitis that is similar to poison-ivy dermatitis. The plants in Alberta have caused at least one case of dermatitis (Hardwick, personal communication). If these plants expand their range, more people may develop dermatitis (Munz 1965, Mitchell and Rook 1979). The viscid glandular hairs on the plants stain the skin brown, and the sap causes dermatitis (Munz 1965). General symptoms of poisoning: 1- Humans: a- blistering; b- erythema; and c- itchiness.
