🪴protect yourself when working with poisonous plant material. Wear gloves and protective eyewear when harvesting. Avoid exposure to fresh juices. This is when they are most dangerous. 🪴designate tools for baneful herbs only to avoid cross contamination in the garden and apothecary. 🪴if using a dehydrator put in a safe place, not in a living or sleeping area. The same goes for hanging plants to dry. 🪴 be aware of dust when powdering herbs, wear a face mask. 🪴”do not ingest orally” certain herbs can be prepared in a safe way for consumption. Unless you are microdosing or blending with other herbs do not smoke or drink tea containing baneful herbs. Alkaloids absorb much more rapidly when ingested orally. 🪴 by applying the same amount of an herbal product to a larger area you increase the absorption of the alkaloids vs a small area. ☠️ traditionally Nightshades would be administered medicinally until the throat becomes dry. ☠️ extreme dry mouth, red skin, blurred vision and inability to urinate are symptoms of tropane alkaloid poisoning. ☠️ hallucinations are also symptoms of poisoning, tropane alkaloids are deliriants not psychedelics ☠️ the delirium prevents us from understanding anything is wrong ☠️if you think you have overdosed on tropane alkaloids Call EMS or Poison Control. ☠️ vegetable oil can be taken to induce vomiting and activated charcoal can be taken with water to absorb toxins. Perpetuating fear is just as dangerous as ignorance. Always remain vigilant when working with powerful plants. #poisonpath #tropanealkaloids #entheogens #ethnobotany #solanaceae #veneficium #witchesointment #flyingointment #medicinalnightshades #poisonersapothecary #plantspiritmedicine https://www.instagram.com/p/CKb5CbInJkM/?igshid=5fja7eh96hgn
