about

A harrowing warning of how to identify the extremely poisonous cicuta maculata (water hemlock):

lyrics

Down by the marshes, and growing in the ditch
Bone-breaking spasms only tempt the darkest witch
Water hemlock, Charon's vessel, to your cauldron add a swatch
Ask not if foes deserve it but if you deserve to watch

Convulsions, out of breath
Body spasms, then death
No angel, nor carrot
Don't harvest, [NO] nor share it

Cicuta maculata, not osha nor angelica
Veins run to the valley [valley of death]
Pain comes in screams [screams choke your breath]
(Veins to the valley of death)

Water hemlock leaves are twice, or thrice pinnate
But just avoiding these may not escape your fate
The feathery, dissected leaves of osha and of carrot
Are also plumes of conium - true hemlock, deadly garrot

Convulsions, out of breath
Body spasms, then death
No angel, nor carrot
Don't harvest, [NO] nor share it

Cicuta maculata, not osha nor angelica
Harvest apacea only late in fall
Observe the seeds carefully, always ID them all
(Pride before the fall)

Carrot seeds are bloody barbed, so never intermix
Cicuta's seeds are circular while osha's an ellipse
Angelica's have 'angel wings' and flattened dorsally
Cicuta's seeds are fallen, flattened lateral death sorcery

Convulsions, out of breath
Body spasms, then death
No angel, nor carrot
Don't harvest, [NO] nor share it

Cicuta maculata, not osha nor angelica
