Notes on poisoning: black-eyed Susan


General poisoning notes:

Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia laciniata) is a native herb that grows across southern Canada. This plant occurs in fields and is sometimes found in disturbed habitats. Ingesting plants caused poisoning in cattle and swine. Symptoms were mild. Poisoning from this plant plant is unlikely (Kingsbury 1964, Fleurbec 1983).
