The toxins contained in deadly nightshade are calystegins, which are potent enzyme inhibitors that cause neurological problems.
Deadly nightshade is mainly abused by humans for its hallucinogenic effects. It is one of the most common causes of poisonings in humans in Europe.
All parts of the plant contain tropane alkaloids. The berries pose the greatest danger to children because they look attractive and have a somewhat sweet taste. Symptoms of belladonna poisoning are the same as those for atropine (the best-known of the tropane alkaloids), and include dilated pupils, tachycardia, hallucinations, blurred vision, loss of balance, a feeling of flight, staggering, a sense of suffocation, paleness followed by a red rash, flushing, husky voice, extremely dry throat, constipation, urinary retention, and confusion. The skin can completely dry out and slough off. Fatal cases have a rapid pulse that turns feeble.
The reason for most of these symptoms is atropine's effect on the parasympathetic nervous system. Since the parasympathetic nervous system regulates non-volitional/subconscious activities (such as sweating, breathing, and heart rate) when it is prevented from sending out signals, the heartbeat and breathing become extremely irregular.

The cures are not without side effects! Be sure you actually have parasites before you put these poisons in your body to kill them. If you live in a society where meats are inspected, and where proper cooking procedures are used, your chances of having tapeworms is small.

I probably messes up your brain as it is a dissasociative deliriant. I've it is possible to eat it without feeling sick if you take wolf's bane with it.
