Deadly Nightshade is poisonous because it contains tropane alkaloids — atropine, scopolamine, and hyoscyamine — which disrupt the nervous system and vital organ function. Every part of the plant is toxic, with the highest concentrations in the roots and leaves. Ingestion can cause severe neurological and cardiac symptoms, and even small amounts can be life‑threatening.
