  1. Thorn apple (Datura metel)
    蔓陀羅

    We sometimes read the news that people have food poisoning after eating the flower.

    BEWARE!
    It is a touch and yet not a touch.

  2. Midnight in the garden of Good and Evil.
    "It was not my idea to be poisonous. I never thought about it... But I have to protect myself... and that's the way I am..."

  4. A quotation from Douglas Adams

       “So what do we do if we get bitten by something deadly, then?” I asked.
       He blinked at me as if I were stupid.
       “Well what do you think you do?” he said. “You die of course. That’s what deadly means.”

    Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humorist, screenwriter
    Last Chance to See, ch. 2 (1990) [with Mark Carwardine]

    #Wakayama #Japan senior uses #AI to #identify wild #mushrooms, gets #poisoned shortly after🤦‍♂️
    "Fortunately, the symptoms were only temporary & he could make a full recovery. A subsequent #analysis by both the Wakayama Prefectural Museum of Natural History & the Wakayama City #PublicHealth Division determined tt the mushrooms were tsukiyotake, a #poisonous species often confused for edible ones"

  8. Black Windows Freak Me Out, Still

    Growing up in Washington, black widow spiders were something exotic from far away lands. Then I moved to California and started finding them in place I did not want.

    I can still remember seeing my first one when we lived in Orange. It

  10. von der heutigen #AuwaldRunde habe ich ein paar mehr bilder mitgebracht, nachdem es endlich mal wieder sonnig war, zumindest zeitweise :)
    anfangen will ich aber diesmal nicht mit den üblichen krabbeltierchen, sondern mit #blumen und #giftpflanzen:
    der blaue eisenhut Aconitum napellus
    so hübsch.
    so tödlich.
    so hahnenfußgewächs.

  15. Palatable versus #poisonous: Scientists reveal how #bats learn to identify which prey is safe to eat
    phys.org/news/2025-04-palatabl paper: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi

    "if they hear a call from an unpalatable #frog, they save time and energy by not responding. But frog calls do not come with automatic spam warnings... the #bat learns to distinguish between palatable and unpalatable #frogs through experience... juveniles can identify larger prey by their calls, but they can't distinguish the #toxic species"

    Known product, known #mushroom, good.

    But...

    Here in #california now and then, we'd hear a sad story of someone, perhaps a new-comer to the region, gathering what they thought were edible mushrooms, but were actually #poisonous

    Some mycologists at the Santa Cruz Fungus Faire decades ago, giving a lecture, described how they met a person who'd eaten some, said that they were delicious!

    But that person said that in the hospital during their last few days alive.

    Death caps?

  18. #Trump isn’t solely responsible for this age of #poisonous rhetoric, #hateful name-calling, #conspiracies & #lies, #divided families & communities, #cowardly leaders & #deluded followers—but as long as Trump still sits atop the #Republican Party, it will not end. His #power depends on lowering the country into a feverish state of #fear & #rage where Americans turn on one another.

  19. #KnowledgeByte: What's the Difference Between #Venomous and #Poisonous?

    It's easy to get confused by how snakes, spiders, and other toxic creatures deliver their chemical weaponry. When it comes down to poisonous vs venomous, it's all down to the method of delivery.
