My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains
My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk.
-John Keats
Ancient Greeks used poison hemlock to execute criminals and other state prisoners; one of the most famous is Socrates. The typical symptoms for poisoning in humans include pupil dilation, dizziness, and trembling followed by slowing of the heartbeat, paralysis of the central nervous system, and muscle paralysis.
