And this my friends, is how lolis that have eaten too much Atropa belladonna looks like!
Todays fun fact:
Atropa belladonna commonly known as Belladonna, Deadly Nightshade or Devil's Berries is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Solanaceae. The foliage and berries are extremely toxic, containing tropane alkaloids. These toxins include scopolamine and hyoscyamine which cause a bizarre delirium and hallucinations. It has a long history of use as a medicine, cosmetic, and poison.
The name "belladonna" comes from the Italian language, meaning "beautiful lady", originating either from its usage as cosmetic for the face, or, more probably, from its usage to increase the pupil size in ladies
Belladonna is one of the most toxic plants found in the Western Hemisphere.
The active agents in belladonna, atropine, hyoscine (scopolamine), and hyoscyamine, have anticholinergic properties. The symptoms of belladonna poisoning include dilated pupils, sensitivity to light, blurred vision, tachycardia, loss of balance, staggering, headache, rash, flushing, dry mouth and throat, slurred speech, urinary retention, constipation, confusion, hallucinations, delirium, and convulsions.
In the past, witches were believed to have used a mixture of belladonna, opium poppy, and other plants, typically poisonous (such as monkshood and poison hemlock) in flying ointment, which they applied to help them fly to gatherings with other witches.
