Plant poisons are very easy to administer and are hard to trace. A few
|
|
leaves in the salad aren't noticed and the victim dies without knowing why.
|
|
|
|
Rhubarb, for one, is a deadly poison. The stalks are fine but if you eat
|
|
of the leaf, you'll die. Cooked, the leaves take an hour or so, but in a salad
|
|
they kill almost immediately.
|
|
|
|
The rhubarb bought in stores has all the leaves taken off so you will have
|
|
to get the leaves from a farm or grow your own.
|
|
|
|
You don't have to be stingy with rhubarb and most other plant poisons like
|
|
figuring grains and grams. Just chop up some leaves and put them in the salad
|
|
or stew or among the lettuce on hamburgers and you will hit the jackpot.
|
|
|
|
Castor beans are a good poison as they are almost tasteless when ground
|
|
and only three or four are enough to kill. They're easy to get, especially in
|
|
Southern California where they grow wild. They cann be put into almost any
|
|
food.
|
|
|
|
Oleanders are common flowers but are about as poisonous as any plant. The
|
|
heart is affected very quickly and severly. Both the leaves and branches are
|
|
lethal.
|
|
|
|
A couple on poisettia leaves will kill just about anybody. Better use
|
|
three.
|
|
|
|
Yew is a conifer, or cone bearing evergreen tree or shrub. Any nursery
|
|
man can take you out in back and idetify it for you. But he will get pretty
|
|
surly if you start stripping off branches so you should buy a small tree, if
|
|
you don't know where a big one is growing.
|
|
|
|
It's the foliage that kills so forget the berries. It is so poisonous and
|
|
so quick that at one time the Secret Service considered for suicide pills. The
|
|
beauty of it is that it kills almost immediately without any symptoms. You
|
|
take it and, splatt, you're on the floor, dead.
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure of the dosage but it's not that much.
|
|
|
|
The way to refine it is to fill a coffee percolator with the ground up
|
|
foliage and put eight ounces of alcohol in the pot. Percolate it for about a
|
|
half hour. if the alcohol boils off, put in some more.
|
|
|
|
Cheap rubbing alcohol is good enough once you have distilled it off from
|
|
its water content.
|
|
|
|
When the process is finished, put the alcohol and what went through the
|
|
percolator into the still. You then distill off the alcohol until you have
|
|
only a couple of teaspoonfuls of residue left. Pour this out into a saucer and
|
|
let it evaporate.
|
|
|
|
You can use the same process for a finer grade of nicotine from tobacco.
|
|
Always strive for quality.
|
|
|
|
Laurel is another evergreen that can cause death by eating a single leaf.
|
|
It is best percolated and distilled but it can be used as it is and put in
|
|
stews and as a garnish on hors d'oeuvres.
