Three Auckland children have been taken to hospital after they came into contact with what may be a toxic plant.

The children, from Jean Batten Primary school in Mangere, were complaining of sore eyes and rashes.

A Fire Service spokesperson says a health and safety advisor and a public health nurse are at the school, to try to find the cause of their illness.
