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.
Well, that would stop a cough.................and a heartbeat..............
Belladonna actually does have medicinal properties. Obviously, you want to be VERY careful with the dosage!
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".
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!
