Subject: [ferrethealth] poisonings by sago palm are becoming more common

They are becoming a fashionable plant to have but are highly toxic and
very interesting for animals.
Death can happen in just hours so they need rapid treatment before
their livers fail.
Many of them are NOT labelled as being sago palms, just labelled as
being a cycad or a "palm".
