- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

There’s usually just a handful of dangerously poisonous plants in any given area. If you learn those then most other stuff should be safe-ish.
Except for all the parasite eggs she's eating

Not really a thing in my area, excepting aquatic plants. Can’t speak to the whole world.
Unless by your area you mean a place that doesn't have plants in the first place because it's entirely paved over, I promise you that there are animals that will shit parasite eggs onto the grass, and children are particularly vulnerable because they both do dumb things like eat grass and have weaker immune systems.
Pinworms, for example, are basically everywhere, even if most parasites are tropical. They're so pervasive they're even noted for not following typical affluence infection rates.
First, pinworms only cause mild illness. My point was your child won’t die from eating random plants with a few exceptions that are easy to learn.
Second, pinworms are not spread by animals, only human to human. I don’t think eating plants is likely to be a vector.
Okay then, feed your kids all the grass they want.
Thank you! That's all I wanted to hear.
