Hemlock water dropwort (*Oenanthe crocata*), also known as dead man's fingers, is one of the most toxic plants in Britain, containing the neurotoxin oenanthetoxin that can lead to severe poisoning and death from even small amounts ingested [2][4]. This perennial plant grows in damp areas, reaching up to 1.5 meters tall, with white flowerheads and leaves resembling parsley [1][3]. All parts of the plant are extremely poisonous, and handling it requires caution due to the risk of toxin absorption through the skin [4][5].
