Talk:Cicuta

Poison Hemlock Latin Name
Here there is a mention of C. Maculata but in the Poison Hemlock article there is C. Maculatum. Which is right?24.83.178.11 09:57, 20 April 2007 (UTC)BeeCier

Water Hemlock
In this article C. maculata stands for Cicuta maculata, but Poison Hemlock is Conium maculatum. They was earlier in the same genus, but later splitted into two genuses. So that's the reason, and they're two totaly diffrent species.

It's said here that Socrates died from drinking Cicuta, by what I have read he died from drinking a mixture from Poison Hemlock (Conium maculatum) and Opium Poppy (Papaver somniferum). Both is relaxaing the musclature (coniin and opium).

By what I have read death normally occours between one to two hours after intake of the plant. Consider that the plant material has to go through the digestive system, before the main part of the chemicals go into the bloodstream. And this is even slower in ruminants and horses, so I really have a strong doubt that livestock have died after 15 minutes after inntake.
