So I learned the yew tree is dangerously poisonous to humans and domestic animals but not so much for wildlife which built up resistances, like deer gnawing every know and then on it's needles or bark. Birds consuming the berry don't count since the berry itself isn't containing toxins, only the seed, which doesn't get digested by birds. Theoratically humans could remove the seed from the berry and should be fine eating it.

Now to my question, do you think if you'd dry some of the needles and then pulverize them and then inject this yew needle powder into some victims bloodstream, with say an arrow containing a small package of that good stuff, all while the payload attached near behind the arrow's head would unravel after the arrow enters a body, would it have a stronger effect as opposed to simply consuming the same amount? Appareantly horses can die after only eating 200mg raw yew needles. Yew needle tea seems to be quite the popular suicide method. Also, after reading a book about poisonous plants, I learned that once digested, yew poisoning is quite lethal, as there aren't direct counter measures. You either die from it or not. What info I couldn't get was for example how fast horses actually die from it.

Totally dangerous, yews grew everywhere where I live, not only wild but even more so in someone's front garden. Their berries are even ripe now on some trees I've seen.

Are toxins more effective via injection, yes or no? Does it depend on the type of toxin? Thx /sci toxologists.
