Jusquiame - Henbane
Red ‘POISON’ label
The labels are entirely handwritten in black ink on bright orange paper, the colour mandated by French regulations in the 19th century to immediately identify poisonous substances.
Jusquiame - Henbane, formerly called witchweed has a sedative and hypnotic effect in low doses but in high doses the brain loses the ability to regulate and filter nervous stimuli, resulting in a sudden break with reality, giving terrifying hallucinations, a disorientation and an agitated delirium. But in parallel with the brain damage, the blockage of the parasympathetic nervous system puts the body in overheating which will cause epileptic seizures leading to coma following the suffering of the brain. Death occurs by asphyxiation or cardiovascular collapse...
This indicated to the pharmacist that it must be stored separately from other substances in the cabinet for toxic substances, the famous ‘poison cabinet’.
