Commenting on "Perfumed nights"

My comment was directed to Cheryl NOT stressing enough the danger of Angel’s trumpet, which is also known as devil's weed. Consuming the leaves and seeds of this plant can lead to severe symptoms of toxicity, including hallucinations, seizures and coma. The most severe cases of its poisoning result in death.
(In comparison with rhubarb which contains poisonous substances in the leaves, one has to consume 5kg of rhubarb leaves to yield 24 gm of pure oxalic acid, lethal enough to cause death.)
