Sprängört (eng. cowbane), Cicuta virosa, is one of the most poisonous plants existing. Symptoms of poisoning include agitation, frothy salivation, vigorous chewing movements, incoordination, difficulty breathing, rapid and weak pulse, bluish mucous membranes, tremors, spasms of the head and neck, and epileptic-like seizures. Death usually occurs one to eight hours after ingestion. 

The herb has nevertheless been used in folk medicine as an analgesic and antispasmodic, but its toxicity makes it dangerous to use. It has also had a role as a weed and an agricultural problem due to its ability to spread aggressively and outcompete other plants.

After being sentenced to death for impiety, Socrates was forced to empty a poisonous cup containing hemlock or possibly cowbane.
