It's beginning to look a lot like poison... ;)

We are discussing some Christmas related plants that have been rumored to be poisonous (and some are). So why are some plants even connected to Christmas? Well, beyond the obvious that some are red and green, like the ever popular poinsettia, there are a lot of stories and myths surrounding them. For instance, did you know mistletoe was revered by the celts and has its place in Greek/Roman symbolism and Norse mythology? Or where kissing under mistletoe even comes from? Lets have some festive fun this episode and talk about the history and toxicity of the plants we love to decorate with this time of year!

Just a heads up, we are taking a break next week from regular episodes but there will be a bonus episode on the patreon! Regular episodes will resume the following week! I hope everyones Christmas/Holidays are wonderful, whatever it is you celebrate! We are thankful for you all!

Hello, dear poison fans! We have part two of The Bubonic Plague and its many outbreaks throughout history! I hope y'all are ready, because this is a long one because I didn't want to leave too much out. In this part, we review the decline of the medieval Black Death as well as various (and strange) cures that honestly did not help. We also discuss the rise of the Great Plague that hit London and surrounding villages in 1665-1666 and the effects of it, as well as the changing beliefs and still strange and unhelpful remedies. We can't NOT discuss more modern outbreaks or how it was finally discovered what was causing the plague and how this changed everything. Oh, and speaking of modern outbreaks, we still see them some places. So we are talking about that as well! Lets have some morbid fun and learn something new!

We love and appreciate y'all listening and supporting. Please come share ideas, questions, or just say Hi! in the IG DMs or comments on Spotify and such.

Hello, poison friends! I hope you are all well and ready to discuss a subject that is well, a little dark. The Bubonic Plague! The Black Death! The Great Plague! We've all heard how the Black Death took out like 1/3 of Europe when it arrived there in the 1300s, but how did it get there and where did it come from. We are going back much earlier to look at previous bouts of plague and how the bacteria mutated to be so deadly as well as how and why the disease spread so quick and so far. We are also looking at what the people of the day thought about the plague and where it might have come from (as ya know they did not have the resources or understanding that we do today). That is this episode (part 1), but don't worry because when part 2 comes out, we are moving forward a bit in history because the plague did not stop there.

Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters! Please feel free to leave a comment or send us a DM for any questions, suggestions, or just to say, "hi."
