this sounds like some shit a medieval witch would know about.
but after some concentrates and a good googlin/wikin and I found some shit that is exactly that. also would like to note this isn't some fucking reddit repost, i bring exclusive content robros
i know joe rants a lot about what monsters tigers and shit are, but these fucking plants are sinister on a whole 'nother level.
heres the little bastard that you want to avoid at all costs. the thing is it looks a lot like an herb that pregnant women take for morning sickness.
Corn lily.
It is a source of jervine and cyclopamine, teratogens which can cause prolonged gestation associated with birth defects[4] such as holoprosencephaly and cyclopia in animals such as sheep, horses, and other mammals that graze upon it. These substances inhibit the hedgehog signaling pathway.[5]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclopia
Genetic problems or toxins can cause problems in the embryonic forebrain-dividing process.[5] One highly teratogenic alkaloid toxin that can cause cyclopia is cyclopamine or 2-deoxyjervine, found in the plant Veratrum californicum (also known as corn lily or false hellebore). The mistake of ingesting Veratrum californicum while pregnant is often because hellebore, a plant with which it is easily confused, is recommended as a natural treatment for vomiting, cramps, and poor circulation, three conditions that are quite common in pregnant women.[6] Cyclopia can occur in the womb when certain proteins are inappropriately expressed[7] and causes the brain to stay whole instead of forming into two distinct hemispheres, which also means one optic lobe and one olfactory lobe resulting in one eye.[8]
Should also point out that its not just that weed that causes the cyclops baby syndrome, uranium and other radionuclides could also do it as seen in Fallujah.
