Digitalis/Digoxin/Lanoxin is a life-saving drug that is derived from the toxic Foxglove plant and can still poison someone in sufficient quantities according to Agatha Christie and the internet. (I guess lots of drugs can harm you in sufficient quantities lol.)
- swayvil 3y agoHey I grow foxglove in my garden. Lovely. Here's another one : CASTOR OIL PLANT. Pretty common. Has these beans. Take some of the beans. Soak em in water for a couple days and you have a fabulous poison : ricin. Excruciating tummy ache and bloody diarrhea. Then you die. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricinus https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricinus
- bluepod4 3y agoI wasn’t aware of the castor oil plant’s beans. My good old friend Calabar Bean came to visit last week though (Cain’s Jawbone reference).
