SEASONS GREETINGS!

It is your annual reminder that the Poinsettia is a plant, not just a cut flower. It can be kept alive indefinitely with proper care.

But it will kill your cat.

Poinsettias are TOXIC TO CATS.

If ingested you're cat will become very sick. My cat almost died because a) the vet had no idea what to look for and b) my cat is an incredible IDIOT decided he liked the taste of POISON and ate it more than once.

So.

DO NOT KEEP POINSETTIAS IN YOUR HOME WITH CATS!

Thank you.

Last year I found this plant, weak and almost dead. I’ve been waiting to see it bloom again and found it tonight!! It is a Sacred Datura(datura wrightii), part of the Nightshade family. Every part of the plant is very toxic and could even kill you or livestock if it was ingested. The flowers are as big as my hand and are pollinated at night by hawkmoths! I love finding deadly plants!

Deadly Foxglove

The “digitalis” part of foxglove’s botanical name, digitalis purpurea, is also the name of a heart medicine derived from this plant. Digitalis is used to help a weakened heart pump harder, so eating parts of the plant or sucking the flowers is basically taking an unregulated dose of heart medicine. After consuming the plant, symptoms for humans include an irregular or slow heartbeat, low blood pressure, nausea, headaches, blurred vision, hallucinations, a loss of appetite, and seeing halos around objects. The last 3 symptoms are commonly observed in people who have been poisoned over a long period of time.

Foxglove grows throughout the United States and typically blooms in the spring. Its bell-shaped flowers are usually purple but can also be cream yellow, white, pink, or rose. Each foxglove plant can produce 1 to 2 million seeds and was used in heart failure treatment in the 18th century.

I love how they just dose people with wolfsbane in The Vampire Diaries. Like, Damon my dude. Even if they aren't a werewolf, that's really gonna fuck their shit up.

Scientists, murders, and random people who just know about this stuff! I'm making a little guide to poisons, and I was wondering if you guys had anything you might want me to add to it. I call it the Idiots Index to Poisons & Paralyzers
