Seren nodded, smiling brightly,
"Yes certainly, biochemical secretions whether they be oils, pus, sap or spores, are all things we need to be cautious of." Quote:

Seren nodded...
"Yes, we need to be cautious of stings." Quote:

Helena wasn't sure whether to say it out loud or not, but she said it anyway, with her hand in the air. "I know it sounds stupid, but maybe we should also check if the plant... moves, somehow."
She was definitely not going to forget about that Herbology lesson with professor Vindictus.
"Yes checking whether or not a plant moves is a factor of identification, but why should we be cautious of it? What consequences could there be?"
Seren was looking for a little more detail... something a bit more specific.

Tilting her head slightly she considered Samira's response.
"Mmm... yes... and no. I think your a little caught of on the poisonous bit, think... a little more... boradly." A lot of things could indicate a plant is poisonous, but what else did they need to be cautious of?
After taking another sip of her tea, she looked down the long table at the students.
"All good responses so far... but what else could go wrong if we are exposed to an unidentified plant? What other cautions do we need to consider?... think outside the box a bit." OOC: Again, ONE aspect per answer... I'll continue onto the next part of the lesson in ... approx 5-6 hours.
