Years ago, back in the 1980s during the “generic” food craze, I found a bottle of cough syrup for kids at the local grocery store. It’s only active ingredient was “Extract of Belladonna”. I did not buy it.

Belladonna actually does have medicinal properties. Obviously, you want to be VERY careful with the dosage!
To: Ruy Dias de Bivar
Poison is in the dose. Belladonna in a cough syrup is safer to use then the children's Tylenol that you probably would have given to the child without a second thought.
Everything on planet earth can kill you if you take enough of it.
And most things are beneficial in the right dose.
Which is why this "deadliest garden" is as much a joke as "deadliest drug store".

Wasn’t it Belladonna that, in medieval times, was used in women’s eyes to dilate their pupils and make them look more attractive?

I think so. Belladonna also known as Deadly Nightshade.

Yep. Try a teeny tiny itty bitty piece of Fugu. You’ll (NOT) like it.

My only regret from the “Generic Age” is not buying a six pack of B-E-E-R brand beer and saving it. You would never want to drink it!

Actually it is kind of tasteless.
I have no idea why the Japanese are so crazy over it.
If you are referring to Tetrodotoxin rather then the fish then it is has been been used as a pain reliever for migraines and is being researched as a pain reliever for cancer patients.
