Foxglove

[goingsoor]

Does anyone know anything about foxglove? I have loads around me and didn't know that this could be a viable option. Is it painful? How much do it need? What's the chances of long term damage from failure. Any help would be massively appreciated

I have some growing near me, supposedly it can be quite deadly, I did look into but I couldn't really find anyone that had successfully managed to ctb using it

apparently it's very poisonous. I'm not sure about the pain levels but at this point I'm struggling and can't do hanging like I thought I could.

Suicide by foxglove

I was just wondering if this is a thing? I mean. It's meant to be deadly, right.

Foxglove experience?

I have researched quite a bit about the toxicity of foxglove. From what I’ve read it doesn’t seem to be a very effective or “easy” method. does anyone here have any knowledge or experience with these plants?

Most plant poisonings would be quite painful

I'd take that pain at the moment. Just want it to guarantee death

I found this video of a couple who ate foxglove. It's painful and not guaranteed. I honestly would try it if it were available to me out of desperation but would make sure not to be found or rescued.

Okay so ive actually done this so not guessing. You get nausea (bear in mind I didn't take a tonne load), I vomited for about 24 hours until I hot taken to ed (it wasn't a suicide method but woulda been happy to die). I ddnt have much pain, in fact even the nausea wasn't as sickening as many nausea bouts I've randomly had, but I did basically vomit everything I tried to drink.

In hosp my hr went down low but when I woke up they said I could be discharged if I could get it to 60. I stood for the first time to go to the bathroom (was on a heart portabble monitor thing) and literally drs came running because my heart went into a non beating rhythm (idk the technical term), i was then sent to coronary care, wasnt allowedd to stand, and it took 5 days for my heart to get a more normal ecg. I was still not well after that.

This was a small amount (like a few flowers, maybe a leaf or two & a stem. I can't speak for how bad a heap would be but I hope to use this method soon

And there was no physical discomfort other than nausea… that's pretty impressive. When you say it wasn't a suicide method what do you mean?

From what Ive read and it was highly used in the Victorian period for poison, is it's painful. Painful way to go.
