Episode S1 Ep 55: Poisonous Plants, From the Unexpected to the Deadly: a Halloween-ish Special
In this week’s episode, Martha and Jamie step into the darker side of the garden! A poisonous-plants quiz takes in deadly nightshade beauty treatments, foxgloves and heart medicine, Socrates and hemlock, and hallucinogenic mad honey, before the they turn to hazards closer to home, from lords-and-ladies mistaken for wild garlic to giant hogweed and laburnum. Martha then shares the eerie tales of the Mediterranean dream fish and Datura, the mad apple. Jamie reveals the everyday foods that can harm you if they aren’t prepared properly, from kidney beans and elderberries to acorns and cassava. Finally, Martha explains poisonous mushrooms and the surprising story of how magic mushrooms got their power.
