Purslane also good for a joint pain salve
Thank you.Problem with putting poison on the tips of weapons is that it is too easy to accidentally poison yourself.
Back in the day, some people used poison pods that fit on the shaft of an arrow for deer hunting. Very simple affairs that had two O rings spaced apart and the neck of a balloon stretched over the gap between the two O rings. It was legal in Mississippi, but highly controversial. The only practical way to get a lethal dose was to be shot with an arrow that had a pod on it. The "poison" of choice was Anectine (succinylcholine chloride), which is a pulmonary suppressant - the deer just stopped breathing. It was a drug commonly used by anesthesiologists (at lower than lethal doses of course)
Also confirmed by clinical studies to treat athlete's foot.View attachment 17053
This is jewel weed, which fixes poison ivy very quickly.
We have some mullein growing on the back of our BOL property. Have a book touting it's many medical uses. I had actually thought about the leaves for TP, as I learned first-hand they're fuzzy and soft like Lamb's Ear leaves (another plant excellent for TP usage). I hear some people react badly to the hairs on mullein leaves though, so tread lightly the first time used that way.View attachment 17054

This is mullien, which is great for asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, and croup. It should not be confused with foxglove. The leaves are excellent toilet paper.
I'm really enjoying this book. It is pretty heavy on chemistry, which is helpful.
As for poison hemlock, I wonder if it has applications in defending your home.
I would like to find out if a concentrate could be applied to punjii sticks or, perhaps, painted on arrows and/or blowgun darts. The toxic chemical is supposed to be similar to nicotine.
Couldn't find it on here but I could have missed it but you can use black walnut husks to make a tincture using high proof clear alcohol and the husks. When done correctly the tincture can be used for clearing up foot infections, disintary, parasites and several other conditions.
