Wilderness Medicine Has My Heart And Soul Right Now - Tumblr Posts

learning about poisonous plants is way more entertaining than I’d anticipated. The instructor is like “so anticholinergics can kill you, but we can use this cholinergic plant (that can also kill you, but in a cholinergic way) as treatment in clinical settings :)”

like imagine eating belladonna and the solution being “here, have some more poisonous berries” it feels like the equivalent to finding someone who is freezing to death and the solution being to set them on fire. I love it.

(suffice to say that none of this is medical advice btw, if you want to learn about poisonous plants please learn it from proper sources and not tumblr shitposts 😭)
