Every aspect of it, the stems, roots, leaves, dainty flowers, and delectable looking berries contain tropane alkaloids, which affect the central nervous system. Even the genus name of the plant, atropa, comes from the final Fate in Classical mythology. Atropos is the crone who cuts the threads of life and thus determines when each of us will die. The name belladonna comes from the Italian words for beautiful lady. 16th century women would put drops of nightshade in their eyes to dilate pupils for beauty's sake.
