A member asked:
I ate one foxglove flower a few years ago by an accident, it contains a digoxin which slows oxygen to the brain, might i have brain damage?

No: Digitalis slows oxygen delivery by its effect of lowering the heart rate. If you did not have any acute symptoms at the time, it is unlikely you have brain damage.

Brain damage: One flower, low likelihood of problems. Brain damage if present unlikely from the one flower.
