NinaFun fact: hemlock (the tree) isn't poisonous. The poisonous hemlock is a plant. I had no idea, and I live where there are hemlock trees all over the place.

jodiOne of the small bits of information that has stuck with me from school (toxicology class) is the fact that water hemlock is much more toxic than poison hemlock. (You would think they would have named it something different. Like deadly water hemlock or something)
