Its the leaves of fox gloves that makes digoxin. A drug to slow and steady the heart.

It is the laburnum seeds that are poisonous. Unfortunately they are attractive and children just love to eat them! Fortunately enforced vomiting does the trick and usually solves the problem!

Yes I remember the one about dandelions and wetting the bed, but didn't realise they were a diuretic.
