Family :
Commelinaceae
Symptoms :
H(092)
Recipes :
H(092) hunting poison, Strophanthus gratus and Parquetina nigrescens are always associated and sometimes with other plants like Rauvolfia vomitoria and Palisota schweinfurthii. The drugs used for these preparations are always used fresh. The stems are scraped with a knife so as to obtain fine chips themselves cut into small pieces of 2 to 3 cm long. The pieces are pressed to extract the juice.. As soon as it is collected, the poison is applied to the ends of the arrows with a piece of cloth attached to the end of a small stick, then dried over the embers of a hearth: it takes about five to six layers to get a sufficiently effective product.
