Here are listed some of the most dangerous plants which, maybe, you have them in home.
This is the most toxic plant in North America related to poison hemlock- famous plant which killed Socrates. It has large wildflower, very often is confuses with edible celery and parsnips.
The plant, especially the root is full with deadly cicutoxin-if it is unlucky eaten causes abdominal cramps, painful convulsions and nausea and even death. Those who survive this toxin suffer from amnesia and lasting tremors.
Macbeth’s soldiers, said in legend, used wine made out of fruits of deadly nightshade in order to poison the invading Danes. These sweet berries lure many people to eat them. It has dull green leaves, shiny black berries same size as cherries. In whole plant nightshade contains scopolamine and atropine. They cause paralysis of the muscles in body, even heart too. Luckily only physical contact with this plant can cause skin irritation.
White snakeroot is plant responsible for the death of Nancy Hanks, Abraham Lincoln’s mother. This American herb contains toxic alcohol -trematol. This poison passes to people even through the milk and meat from poisoned livestock.Symptoms of poisoning are appetite loss, weakness, nauseaabdominal discomfort, reddened tongue, the abnormal acidity of the blood and of course even death. Luckily, we may say that white snakeroot is removed from animal pastures.
Castor bean-native to Africa and grown as an ornamental. Processed seeds are the source of castor oil, but the natural ones contain the deadly poison ricin. It only takes one or two of these seeds to kill a child and kill a grown man. Consumed, ricin inhibits the synthesis of proteins inside of cells. Symptoms are diarrhea, vomiting, seizures and sometimes even death.
Rosary Pea (Abrus Precatorius)
These seeds, contain abrin, a ribosome inhibiting protein and is extremely deadly. Rosary peas grow in tropical areas. They are used in prayer rosaries and jewelry. Its intact seed are not poisonous, but the scratched, broken or chewed ones can be deadly. Only 3 micrograms are enough to kill an adult. Abrin is also preventngi protein synthesis in the cells.
This is beautiful plant with striking flowers and all parts of this plant are deadly. They are full with lethal cardiac glycosides named oleandrin and neriline. If it is consumed it may cause diarrhea, vomiting, erratic pulse, seizures, coma and at the end death. Some people have become sick after eating honey from bees that visited oleander flowers. This plant is very bitter, so poisoning is very rare.
Tobacco – most grown commercial plant in the world and all the parts of it, especially the leaves, contain nicotine and anabasine. These are toxic alkaloids-fatal if they are eaten. Despite of being labeled as a cardiac poison, nicotine is consumed around the world. It is perhaps most deadly plant – it causes 5 million deaths every year all around the world.
The Angel Trumpet- native to South America’s forests. It is full with atropine, hyoscyamine, and scopoalamine which are mind altering. It is less dangerous itself, but also can be turned in a biological weapon by humans. The documentary “Colombian Devil’s Breath” from 2007 screened the stories in which the Angel Trumpet was used by criminal gangs in order to make living zombies from the victims –literally. They refined scopolamine. This acts like “hypnotizing herb”, makes the victims unaware of their actions, completely conscious at the same time. People that have volunteered in some experiments have injured themselves due to their psychotic state.
Spurge Laurel – related to Bay Leaf, found in public grounds and ornamental gardens. It contains powerful biocides that cause irritation and blistering, when plant is cutted. But if berries are consumed it cause major internal bleeding and organ failure and death after several hours.
Tribes used this plant as a drug for seriously ill patients.
In the Oak woodlands of Western North America live edible bulbs known as Camas. But, toxicoscordion venenosum, is the most toxic plant that looks similar to edible Camas. Death Camas has different coloration. Now, consuming smallest amount can result with organ failure, blood disturbance and unfortunately, death.
