From mythic potions to deadly darts, poison is often associated with danger and wickedness. But did you know that plant-derived poisons save far more lives than they take?
Pick Your Poison highlights pharmacology's deep roots in toxicology, explores the cultural significance of poison, and offers insight into the potential dangers lurking in your own backyard!
Join Patrick Ford, Reference and Cataloging Librarian at the Lloyd Library & Museum, as he delves into the contradictions and mysteries of poisonous plants and presents striking botanical illustrations and foundational toxicology texts dating back to the 16th century.
