==Toxicology== There is no sufficient data that demonstrates Labrador tea is safe to consume, as toxicity varies across species and localities. Excessive consumption is not recommended due to [[diuresis]], vomiting, dizziness, and drowsiness.<ref name="Dampc" /> Large doses can lead to cramps, convulsions, paralysis, and, in rare cases, death.<ref name="Dampc" /> Toxicity occurs due to the [[terpenoid]] [[ledol]] which is found in all Labrador tea species. ''R. groenlandicum'' has the lowest toxicity due to lower levels of ledol. Moderately narcotic [[Grayanotoxins]] are also present, but few lethal human cases of poisoning solely due to grayanotoxins have been documented. However, lethal poisonings have been documented in livestock.<ref name="Dampc" />
