Additional info:

The belladonna plant, also known as deadly nightshade, is extremely toxic to humans and many animals. It gets its name from its previous pharmacological use as eye-drops; women used them to make their pupils dilate, likely an effect of the poison. Many eventually went blind.

Belladonna is also the name of a famous erotic actress in the US.
