Poisoning arrows?
stickbender:
Dakotian, not the black eyed susan flower. This a vine that grows down here, (Florida) and it has little seed pods, with small field pea shaped seeds, that are bright red, with a bright black end cap on one end. I don't the castor bean grows in your area either. It was once a weed that grew all over the place down here. Has a elongated seed, graysih, brown, in a spiny seed pod. Some of the poisonous plants, the poison is more concentrated in the roots. Yeah, the Hemlock is nasty stuff, and not a pleasant death. The ricin has no antidote. They were supposedly working on one, but never heard anymore about it. Also the oleander, has a toxin, called digitalis, and it is used as a heart medicine, but large enough quantities, can be fatal. Even getting the sap on your hands, can cause palpitations, tachycardia, and irregular rhythms. Always wear gloves when cutting, or messing with that plant. Or any plant as far as that goes. ;)

Deer could possibly eat hemlock without ill effects. I've seen them eat mushrooms that would kill me and they eat poison ivy, would you?.
recurve shooter:
huh. there are alot more poisons in North America than i thought.

Now,,,, Here's another thought; Why not learn tracking skills, blood trailing, and shot placement. The recovery rate would probally be better.
The large game in Africa that were shot with drugged points still took days of tracking before they fell over. And they didn't drop dead in the parking lot of Wal-Mart with an arrow stuck in it. ::)

Well the study of poisons is an old one, there are many uses, in fact the study of all medicinals is also a study of poisons because what can make you well can also poison you, it's a matter of dosage and administration, I abhhor all the censorship and restrictions we see in our society, this is a very useful subject and you cannot study the art of poisons without studying health, they are 2 sides to the same coin, and as survivalists, as we are on this forum it is very relevant:)
