Re: CULT: cow death
Hi Jan,
The only thing I can think of is certain older varieties are worse than others or the College couldn't figure out why some of Dad's cows died and assumed it was from their stomach contents. They have made similar mistakes before like the time they quarintined Dad's whole heard from an optopsy they performed in the field on a young bull. When the dead animal truck came and the animal was rolled over he had an arrow under his ear into his brain. The quarintine was lifted. If that is the case I spent 2 whole summers moving iris for nothing.

I'm curious to know where the first poster got the idea from, that rhizomes
are lethal. I remember a posting some time back, listing the various herbal
remedies, involving irises ingested, or applied.
Can't have been too deadly if people were swallowing the stuff as a cure.
If you search the Mallorn archives, for 'Pliny' you will find some
interesting 'home remedies' that I would not be keen to try myself :-)
Cheers, Jan
