Mint that is

Young children are generally intensely curious, and tend to learn about the physical world by picking things up and putting them in their mouths. When they're in the garden it's inevitable that some of the things going into the mouth are less than desirable - my son had a penchant for eating spring onions he pulled up by the handful. Onions and soil all went in together. He appeared to suffer no ill effects, but his breath was often something to behold.

As far as I'm aware the hospital A&E departments aren't crammed with children who have eaten toxic plants, so perhaps we worry too much. fourm member is the expert on poisonous plants - he's written an excellent book on the subject

My wife once prized open our son's mouth to find that his cheeks were bulging because of several garden snails secreted each side!

She was praying that he did not crunch before she fished them out!
