About: Neth berries   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

Black neth berries were dried and powered for use as a medicinal stimulant. An unconscious patient could be shocked upright when the powder was applied to their tongue. For short times they granted abnormal strength mixed with tremors, twitching nerves, and fluttering vision. This was followed by a swift and savage fall, incapacitating the patient for a day of dreamless sleep. Mixing the powder with alcohol could reduce some of the nervous side effects. Frequent use led to a more pleasurable warmth rather than a nervous shock, but also resulted in a wan and gaunt appearance.
