The majority of you might think that the most poisonous plant on this list should be hemlock and you are totally right!

This poisonous plant was considered to be a means of execution in ancient Greece and one of its famous victims is the great philosopher, Socrates! The latter suffered from the powerful effects of the plant’s toxin known as coniine.

The scary part: Ingesting a small amount of this toxin is enough to take you to the grave. And a smaller amount can be nothing but 6 to 8 leaves of this plant or even less! The toxin disrupts your body’s neuromuscular junction causing you a health complication known as ‘’ ascending muscular paralysis’’.

Here, your immune system mistakingly attacks your neural system and leads to paralysis that begins with your legs and slowly ascends to other parts of your body until it reaches your respiratory muscle, and therefore put an end to your life!
