Definitely, I love me some murderous plants

I don't know all of the things about these plants, so on some spaces I just put 'none that I know of'. (Most of this information came from Wiki)

Name: Aconitum:

(commonly known as aconite, monkshood, wolf's bane, leopard's bane, mousebane, women's bane, devil's helmet, queen of poisons, or blue rocket.)

Early Symptoms: Gastrointestinal, including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea

Following Symptoms: Burning, tingling, and numbness in the mouth and face, and of burning in the abdomen.

Forms: Plant

Diagnosis: None that I know of
If survives: None that I know of

Cure: Treatment of poisoning is mainly supportive. All patients require close monitoring of blood pressure and cardiac rhythm. Gastrointestinal decontamination with activated charcoal can be used if given within one hour of ingestion. The major physiological antidote is atropine, which is used to treat bradycardia. Other drugs used for ventricular arrhythmia include lidocaine, amiodarone, bretylium, flecainide, procainamide, and mexiletine. Cardiopulmonary bypass is used if symptoms are refractory to treatment with these drugs. Successful use of charcoal hemoperfusion has been claimed in patients with severe aconitine poisoning.
[Don't Panic.
There is no chemical antidote for aconite.
Call 911 and tell them you have a poisoning victim, and/or call your doctor's emergency number and get instructions.
Immediately induse vomiting to rid victim's system of the poison.
Immediately give victim a teaspoonful of mustard, mixed in a teacupful of warm (not hot) water.
If vomiting does not occur after ten minutes, repeat the last step using large amounts of warm water.
If no mustard is available, a tablespoonful of salt, in a teacupful of warm, (not hot) water, will serve purpose.
After victim has vomited, mix powdered charcoal, a teaspoonful at a time, in water, and let it be drunk; and also use lots of very strong tea.
Briskly rub the victim's limbs with your warmed hands, and place hot bottles or bricks alongside the body and beside the feet.
If other treatment is used, it should only be at the judgment of a physician, who should be summoned as soon as possible.]

Random stuff about it: Marked symptoms may appear almost immediately, usually not later than one hour, and "with large doses death is almost instantaneous". Death usually occurs within two to six hours in fatal poisoning (20 to 40 ml of tincture may prove fatal).
In severe poisonings, pronounced motor weakness occurs and cutaneous sensations of tingling and numbness spread to the limbs. Cardiovascular features include hypotension, sinus bradycardia, and ventricular arrhythmias. Other features may include sweating, dizziness, difficulty in breathing, headache, and confusion. The main causes of death are ventricular arrhythmias and asystole, or paralysis of the heart or respiratory center. The only post mortem signs are those of

Name: Atropa belladonna - Deadly Nightshade

Symptoms: POISONING appear within 15 minutes: red skin, dry mouth, burning throat, dilated pupils, intense thirst, overheating due to decreased perspiration, double vision or inability to focus, difficulty urinating, over excitement and symptoms of restlessness, hallucinations, delirium, manic attacks followed by exhaustion and sleep, giddiness, burning in stomach, nausea, rambling talk, abnormally fast heartbeat, feeble rapid pulse, muscular tremors or rigidity, severe or persistent constipation. sensitivity to light

Forms: Berry

Diagnosis: The ‘Symptoms’ will tell you

If survives: None that I know of

Cure: Rinse out the mouth and have a glass of water. Contact the Poison Control Centre.
Depending on the amount ingested, referral to a hospital may be recommended.
Random stuff about it: The foliage and berries are extremely toxic when ingested, containing tropane alkaloids. These toxins include atropine, scopolamine and hyoscyamine, which cause delirium and hallucinations, and are also used as pharmaceutical anticholinergics.
Atropa belladonna has unpredictable effects. The antidote for belladonna poisoning is physostigmine or pilocarpine, the same as for atropine.
It has a long history of use as a medicine, cosmetic, and poison.Before the Middle Ages, it was used as an anesthetic for surgery; the ancient Romans used it as a poison (the wife of Emperor Augustus and the wife of Claudius both were rumored to have used it for murder); and, predating this, it was used to make poison-tipped arrows. The genus name Atropa comes from Atropos ("unable to be turned aside"), one of the three Fates in Greek mythology, who cut the thread of life after her sisters had spun and measured it; and the name "bella donna" is derived from Italian and means "beautiful woman" because the herb was used in eye-drops by women to dilate the pupils of the eyes to make them appear seductive

Name: Foxglove

Symptoms: (Results from an overdose of digitalis) causes nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, as well as sometimes resulting in xanthopsia (jaundiced or yellow vision) and the appearance of blurred outlines (halos), drooling, abnormal heart rate, cardiac arrhythmias, weakness, collapse, dilated pupils, tremors, seizures, and even death. Bradycardia also occurs. Because a frequent side effect of digitalis is reduction of appetite, some individuals have used the drug as a weight-loss aid.

Forms: Leaves, flowers, seeds, herb, and drug.

Diagnosis: None that I know of.

Cure: None that I know of.

Random stuff about it: In some instances, people have confused digitalis with the relatively harmless comfrey (Symphytum) plant, which is often brewed into a tea, with fatal consequences. Other fatal accidents involve children drinking the water in a vase containing digitalis plants. Drying does not reduce the toxicity of the plant. The plant is toxic to animals, including all classes of livestock and poultry, as well as felines and canines.
Digitalis poisoning can cause heart block and either bradycardia (decreased heart rate) or tachycardia (increased heart rate), depending on the dose and the condition of one's heart. Notably, the electric cardioversion (to "shock" the heart) is generally not indicated in ventricular fibrillation in digitalis toxicity, as it can increase the dysrhythmia.[citation needed] Also, the classic drug of choice for ventricular fibrillation in emergency setting, amiodarone, can worsen the dysrhythmia caused by digitalis, therefore, the second-choice drug lidocaine is more commonly used

Name: Jimsonweed or devil's snare.

Symptoms: Delirium (as contrasted to hallucination), hyperthermia, tachycardia, bizarre behavior, and severe mydriasis with resultant painful photophobia that can last several days.

Forms: Drug, seed, plant.

Diagnosis: None that I know of.

Cure: None that I know of.

Random stuff about it: All parts of Datura plants contain dangerous levels of the tropane alkaloids atropine, hyoscyamine, and scopolamine, which are classified as deliriants, or anticholinergics. The risk of fatal overdose is high among uninformed users, and many hospitalizations occur amongst recreational users who ingest the plant for its psychoactive effects.
Pronounced amnesia is another commonly reported effect. The onset of symptoms generally occurs around 30 to 60 minutes after ingesting the herb. These symptoms generally last from 24 to 48 hours, but have been reported in some cases to last as long as two weeks.
The effects of taking jimson weed seeds can last for days. Overdoses can lead to seizures, comas and respiratory arrest.
imson weed is UNSAFE when taken by mouth or inhaled. It is poisonous and can cause many toxic effects including dry mouth and extreme thirst, vision problems, nausea and vomiting, fast heart rate, hallucinations, high temperature, seizures, confusion, loss of consciousness, breathing problems, and death. The deadly dose for adults is 15-100 grams of leaf or 15-25 grams of the seeds.
