Gerard tells us that Wolfsbane is to be utterly refused in medicine. The antivenom created from Anthora is typically administered in wine form, and is also good for most poisons or removing tapeworms. While Anthora can be used as a remedy, if the plant grows too close to other strains of Wolfsbane, it will assume Wolfsbane's poisonous qualities. Additionally, there is an antivenom that can be made using Anthora, but this remedy must be administered immediately. If you are willing to cut out a lot of flesh, the poison can be removed. Wolfsbane is pretty much incurable if it enters the bloodstream, and victims typically die within half an hour of ingestion. The most prominent symptom of Wolfsbane is extreme swelling, though other afflictions include stiffness, lethargy, and eyes hanging out. Once the wolves found it, they would eat it and die. The hunters would leave out raw meat laced with the poison. The name Wolfsbane comes from hunters who would use the plant's poisonous qualities to take down dangerous beasts, particularly wolf packs. Thora comes from the greek name which signifies corruption, poison, or death. Wolfsbane is also known by the names Aconite and Thora, though there are also varieties of Monkshood that are identified as Thora, which may cause some confusion.
No species of Wolfsbane are native to England, but the plants are found in individual gardens. Winter Wolfsbane in particular grows in Germany, and has fairer flowers when in deep snow and extreme cold. Wolfsbane grows abundantly in the Alps, and throughout Italy. Though many consider Wolfsbane to be beautiful, it is an incredibly deadly plant.
Different species of Wolfsbane grow nearly year-round. Occasionally this leads the observer to confuse Wolfsbane with Monkshood. Some common colors are yellow, blue, and purple, and the flowers are often helmet-shaped. There are other varieties of Wolfsbane, the primary difference being the color of flower.
