Mistletoes are parasitic plants. Some have explosive fruits; some fling their babies to new branches they can infect. They can also cause abnormal growths called “witches’ brooms” that deform the branches and decrease the reproductive ability of the host. Romantic.

Mistletoe also killed Baldr, god of "light and radiance, joy and purity, peace and forgiveness". I wouldn't want that in my criminal file. 😬

The symptoms of mistletoe toxicity include gastrointestinal upset (vomiting and diarrhea in dogs and cats; colic in horses), difficulty breathing, weakness (due to low blood pressure or slowed heart rate), and odd behavior. www.fda.gov/animal-veter...
