Deadly

Did you know that Socrates the great philosopher and thinker was killed by a deadly plant? He chose drinking the tea of a plant called Hemlock as his preferred way to die after he got sentenced to death in ancient Greece. The poison of this plant disrupts the central nervous system and already a small dose can cause respiratory collapse. Other deadly plants in contrast like the christmas rose or the burning bush are only deadly when consumed in very high doses.
