bushman's poison
Bushman's poison is a term referring to several toxic plants indigenous to South Africa, namely Acokanthera oblongifolia and Acokanthera schimperi. The plant derives its name because the San Bushmen traditionally used its highly toxic sap to poison the tips of their hunting arrows. The plant's sap, wood and leaves are all highly toxic if ingested or coming into contact with blood, and can cause cardiac arrest. It's also known as the 'deadly nightshade' or 'wintersweet'.
