Aconitum : Wolf's Bane
Marked symptoms may appear almost immediately, usually not later than one hour. Death usually occurs within two to six hours. Initial signs are gastrointestinal, including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. This is followed by a sensation of burning, tingling, and numbness in the mouth and face, and of burning in the abdomen. In severe poisonings, pronounced motor weakness occurs and cutaneous sensations of tingling and numbness spread to the limbs. Cardiovascular features include hypotension, sinus bradycardia, and ventricular arrhythmias. Other features may include sweating, dizziness, difficulty in breathing, headache, and confusion. The main causes of death are ventricular arrhythmias and asystole, or paralysis of the heart or respiratory center. The only post mortem signs are those of asphyxia.



Digitalis : Foxgloves
Causes nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, as well as sometimes resulting in xanthopsia (jaundiced or yellow vision) and the appearance of blurred outlines (halos), drooling, abnormal heart rate, cardiac arrhythmias, weakness, collapse, dilated pupils, tremors, seizures, and death. Toxic to animals, including all classes of livestock and poultry, as well as felines and canines.



Datura : Devil's Trumpet
Produces effects similar to that of an anticholinergic delirium (usually involving a complete inability to differentiate reality from fantasy), hyperthermia, tachycardia, bizarre and possibly violent behavior, severe mydriasis (dilated pupils) resulting in painful photophobia that can last several days, and pronounced amnesia. Used for centuries as a lethal poison. Toxins may be ingested accidentally by consumption of honey produced by several wasp species during the Datura blooming season.



Atropa belladonna : Deadly Nightshade

Causes dilated pupils, sensitivity to light, blurred vision, tachycardia, loss of balance, staggering, headache, rash, flushing, severely dry mouth and throat, slurred speech, urinary retention, constipation, confusion, hallucinations, delirium, and convulsions. Visual hallucinations can last for three to four days. Trips induced by belladonna are threatening, dark, demonic, hellish, frightening, and terrifying. The plant's deadly symptoms are caused by atropine's disruption of the parasympathetic nervous system's ability to regulate involuntary activities, such as sweating, breathing, and heart rate. Toxic to many domestic animals, causing narcosis and paralysis. Historically used as deadly poison.
