Is Arrowwood viburnum toxic to humans?
The arrowwood viburnum features berries that are regarded as mildly toxic, particularly when they have not reached full ripeness. These berries are rich in polyphenols, which may irritate the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in symptoms such as nausea, excessive salivation, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting if consumed in significant quantities. In severe cases of poisoning, there can be serious complications including electrolyte imbalances or severe dehydration. It is important to keep this plant out of reach of children and individuals with cognitive impairments to avoid these adverse effects.
