deadly nightshade wormer

I know chams in the wild must eat caterpillars and other insects which feed on poisonous plants such as datura, tobacco, ipomoea, tomato etc. It is just a thought, and I'm by no means saying try it, but these plants are old remedies for intestinal worms and I'll bet these help control nematodes and other intestinal parasites in insectivores, or perhaps not......just a thought.

BEtter yet, WORMWOOD! Dual use, you could use it to expel intestinal worms, and distill the green juice flavor it with anise, and you have a potent, hallucinagenic drink--Absinthe!

I had wondered why it was called wormwood, then I read up on Absinthe. The plant was called wormwood, because it was an old remedy for parasitic worms. It'll probably kill a small animal, though...
