POISONOUS PLANTS:
*A NEVER USE*
Deathberries/Yew berries/Night Seeds – Ah, yes; these red berries from the infamous dark-leaved, poisonous yew bush used to grow in the ravine in ThunderClan’s old territory. They can – no, WILL kill a cat within minutes of being consumed. Sometimes it is used to kill other cats by forcing them to eat the berry, however ShadowClan medicine cats use it to end a cat’s life to prevent unnecessary suffering.
Foxglove Seeds – Tiny, black seeds from the pink bell-shaped flower of the fox-glove plant. They grow almost everywhere, especially in temperate regions. The petals can be pressed against deep wounds to stop bleeding, but a patient eats the seeds only as a last resort. It is supposed to help the heart, but instantly causes paralysis and heart failure. It is easy to get them confused with poppy seeds.
Holly Berries – Holly bushes are very pretty with their spiny leaves that produce red berries. Holly berries are quite possibly the least poisonous herb out of all of these, but still holds dangerous value. They have no effect on adults, but if a kit eats them, it causes kitten-cough.
Deadly Nightshade – A small shrub with faintly-scented, bell shaped flowers that are purple tinged with green in colour, with berries that are black and shiny when ripe. They grow in moist, shady places, but often grows in places where the soil is rich in limestone. It is used to kill a cat that cannot be saved quickly.
Water Hemlock – Green or white flowers with petals in umbrella-shaped clusters. They grow in wet, marshy areas and is the most poisonous plant after deathberries, and can easily be confused with parsley. Water hemlock causes writhing, pain, foaming at the mouth, and violent convulsions. Thankfully, it can be treated with yarrow if the treatment comes quick enough. If it is too late, the consumer will already be dead.

There is currently no special herbs that can treat cancer, epilepsy, diabetes, cat flu, auto-immune disease, or other cat ailments.
