Have you ever wondered how toxic your festive flora is? Does Nutmeg have a dark side?

In this week's episode, we discuss poinsettia, holly, and mistletoe to try and determine if they really are as toxic as we are all led to believe. We also talk about nutmeg and its potential for abuse.

We will be taking a break for a couple of weeks after this episode but will be back on the 6th of January.

Hope you all have a lovely festive season, and we will see you in 2025!
