Flowers like lotv or foxglove?

Hi, im wondering about dying from ingesting poisonous flowers or herbs? I've never seen this posted about before. Does it work? I don't care if it hurts

I understand that in india , there are quite a few cases where children using orleander ( tree) seeds to ctb or accidentally ingest and died. It belongs to the category of cardiac toxin , like digoxin or propanolol. Might not easy for adult though.

Yes and no. Yes, because (obviously) there are cases when someone died after ingesting specific plant or plants. No, because it is unreliable. Plants do not contain specific amount of poison. It's always a range so you never know how much of active substance you actually ate. Also, your body will try its best to remove the poison and you'll most probably vomit like crazy which might leave you with just enough toxin to permanently damage some of the organs but still alive. Also, yes, it will hurt and you will start caring quite quickly, at least according to those who survived.

What about water hemlock? It is known as the most toxic plant in North America.

TBH, i never heard of water hemlock before. I can only google for info.

From i gathered, 2-3cm of stem can be fatal to adult. However, the symptoms can be severe, cut and paste from cdc usa

The early gastrointestinal response of vomiting may be somewhat protective as many persons regurgitate the undigested root. Diaphoresis, flushing, and dizziness also have been reported. In severe intoxications, profuse salivation, perspiration, bronchial secretion, and respiratory distress leading to cyanosis develop soon after ingestion. In fatal poisonings, severe seizures occur after the initial symptoms, and death results usually from status epilepticus

Not sure water hemlock easy to find in your country. But it is not available in my country.

Thank you for helping me out, I was having a hard time researching. Water hemlock is native where I am and I can find it quite easily, im not sure if it's the method for me but it's something to think about. Thank you for your help.
