Huh. I was thinking Aconitum species when they mentioned carrots.
Sardonic grin just mentions strychnine poisoning, which comes from a tree.

No, no. It’s hemlock.

Ah, yes. My mistake, did not read the entire wikipedia article there for sardonic grin.

It’s all good. :) I try to hold back links sometimes to encourage people to go look up stuff, both because the curious will and they come back and contribute some new things. It’s good for conversation. People are neat.

Oh my, the mechanism of action on that is essentially the opposite of alchohol/benzos. That’s a very unfun way to go. Interesting, a suggestive treatment is benzos/getting blind drunk.
