At a glance, it is easy to confuse Baptisia with asparagus. But this is not an edible plant. Here is a paper in The Journal of Emergency Medicine that reports gastrointestinal symptoms, weakness, and “profound ataxia.” Usually the level of toxicity described for this plant is “low,” but clearly “profound” symptoms are something you want to avoid. So, make sure you do not ingest Baptisia. Additionally, the entire plant is poisonous to animals as well. So, do not let your pets play around it unsupervised. If your pet does ingest it, symptoms could include nausea, vomiting, and respiratory arrest. Call your vet immediately.
