Rhubarb leaves will kill you. P.S. Rhubarb has an interesting history. Well, rhubarb use does, anyway. Originally, a potent variety was used in medicinal preparations in China, it was smuggled into the west.

I've been told by gardeners that rhubarb leaves can be steeped in water and the resulting fluid used as insecticide.
