Poison list

While it's important to approach writing with creativity and imagination, it's crucial to prioritize responsible and ethical storytelling. That being said, if you're looking for information on poisons for the purpose of writing fiction, it's essential to handle the subject matter with care and accuracy. Here is a list of some common poisons that you can use in your stories:

Hemlock: Hemlock is a highly poisonous plant that has been used as a poison in various works of literature. It can cause paralysis and respiratory failure.

Arsenic: Arsenic is a toxic element that has been historically used as a poison. It can be lethal in high doses and can cause symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, and organ failure.

Cyanide: Cyanide is a fast-acting poison that affects the body's ability to use oxygen. It can cause rapid loss of consciousness and cardiac arrest.

Nightshade: Nightshade plants, such as Belladonna or Deadly Nightshade, contain toxic compounds that can cause hallucinations, respiratory distress, blurred vision, dizziness, an increased heart rate, and even death when ingested.

Ricin: Ricin is a potent poison derived from the castor bean plant. It can cause organ failure and has been used as a plot device in various fictional works.

Strychnine: Strychnine is a highly toxic alkaloid that affects the nervous system, leading to muscle spasms, convulsions, and respiratory failure.

Snake Venom: Various snake venoms can be used in fiction as deadly poisons. Different snake species have different types of venom, each with its own effects on the body.

Digitalis: Digitalis, derived from the foxglove plant, contains cardiac glycosides. It has been historically used to treat heart conditions, but in high doses, it can be toxic. Overdosing on digitalis can cause irregular heart rhythms, nausea, vomiting, and visual disturbances.

Lead: Lead poisoning, often resulting from the ingestion or inhalation of lead-based substances, has been a concern throughout history. Lead is a heavy metal that can affect the nervous system, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, cognitive impairment, anemia, and developmental issues, particularly in children.

Mercury: Mercury is a toxic heavy metal that has been used in various forms throughout history. Ingesting or inhaling mercury vapors can lead to mercury poisoning, causing symptoms like neurological impairment, kidney damage, respiratory issues, and gastrointestinal problems.

Aconite: Also known as Wolfsbane or Monkshood, aconite is a highly toxic plant. Its roots and leaves contain aconitine alkaloids, which can affect the heart and nervous system. Ingesting aconite can lead to symptoms like numbness, tingling, paralysis, cardiac arrhythmias, and respiratory failure.

Thallium: Thallium is a toxic heavy metal that can cause severe poisoning. It has been used as a poison due to its tastelessness and ability to mimic other substances. Thallium poisoning can lead to symptoms like hair loss, neurological issues, gastrointestinal disturbances, and damage to the kidneys and liver.

When incorporating poisons into your writing, it is essential to research and accurately portray the effects and symptoms associated with them. Additionally, be mindful of the potential impact your writing may have on readers and the importance of providing appropriate context and warnings if necessary.

Dealing with painful transformations

With the compliments of the Lunar Foundation: community support by and for werewolves.

Transforming from human to wolf shape and back again, whether voluntary, instinctual, or under the influence of the moon, is often quite uncomfortable. If the transformation causes significant pain, however, is important to know that there are ways to relieve it. These are the most common:

High protein intake

For some werewolves who have a hard time transitioning from their human shape to their wolf shape, the cause lies particularly in the wolf lacking the strenght for a quick transition. This can sometimes be remedied by eating more protein. This does not have to be exclusively meat and contrary to popular belief the meat should not be raw if it is being eaten while in human form.

Physical therapy

Physical therapy and interventions like exercises, stretches, massages, and controlled pressure on painful joints have proven extremely effective in relieving and (partially) preventing the pain caused by transformations. Please check our website to find (health)care professionals with our paw print of approval. This includes physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopaths and masseurs that specialize in working with shapeshifters to handle the physical strain of (involuntary) transformations.

Wolfsbane-aniseed tea

A traditional remedy that by now has significant research to back it up as a safe and effective treatment to promote a faster, less painful transformation in werewolves who shift under the influence of the moon. The wolfsbane lowers the intensity of the transformation while the aniseed promotes certain aspects of the it. This tea can be bought without a prescription at most occult shops and pharmacies. It is safe to give to children, but should not be drunken daily.

Extract of wolfsbane

If the tea is not effective, there are prescription medicines that use wolfsbane in a higher concentration to slow the transformation down to reduce the strain on the body. It should be noted this does not work for individuals who experience pain when changing back to their human shape. These types of medications are generally safe to use regularly, but the dosage should always be monitored by a doctor. Stronger medicines may also contain other active ingredients.

Silver particles

In extreme cases a doctor might prescribe medication that includes (trace) amounts of silver. The intent is to temporarily weaken part of the wolfish aspect to make the transformation less violent. The use of such medication has to be closely monitored, and is ideally not for long term use.

Magical intervention

If the exact cause of the pain has been identified by a doctor or healer, it is sometimes possible to craft a magical amulet, charm or sigil that can offer a solution. The specifics will always depend on the individual. Access our website for a full registry of healthcare professionals, including magical healers, who have the appropriate specialization to treat werewolves.

Painful transformations are most common among werewolves who have just begun transforming and those who are particularly affected by the moon, but it can happen to everyone who shifts between physical shapes. It is also more common during growth spurts or hormonal changes. If you or a loved one are used to painless transformations and suddenly begin experiencing pain, please discuss this with your doctor.
