Yes, there are several common midwest root and tuber plant species that are poisonous to humans. The three most notable are Wild Ginger, Wild Parsnip, and Water Hemlock. Wild Ginger causes burning in the throat and mouth when consumed, while Wild Parsnip can cause blistering and burns on skin that comes into contact with it. Water Hemlock can be lethal if eaten in large amounts.
