Welcome to AirNManky's Cabinet of Curiosity's, a production of I Heart Radio and Grimm

and Mild.

Our world is full of the unexplainable.

And if history is an open book, all of these amazing tales are right there on display,

just waiting for us to explore.

Welcome to the Cabinet of Curiosity's.

The closing song of the musical Little Shop of Horrors bears a stern warning, don't feed

the plants, and for good reason.

Though they may seem harmless, certain species of flora can be hazardous to humans and

animals alike.

Although none of them have ever eaten people, at least that we know of, several have been

known to make a person wish they'd never been born.

Water hemlock, for example, which is commonly found in the western half of the United

States, can cause seizures and crippling abdominal pain prior to death if eaten.

White snake root is a white flowered herb that bears a strong resemblance to baby's

breath, but unlike baby's breath, it's deadly to humans.

So much so, in fact, that even drinking milk from cows that have eaten it has been known

to cause nausea and even death.

But there is one plant that is toxic in a different way.

It has left several casualties in its wake, but not due to its ingestion.

Those who met their end fail to heed one simple warning.

Don't touch.
