    Nowadays, the compound “Atropin“ from the berry’s scientific name “Atropa belladonna” is still used in ophthalmology for the exact function it had for the vain women of yore.

      It is possible to roughly determine the lethal dose of such toxins without testing but exact values are almost impossible to predict because of the huge number of variables involved in the chemistry of the human body. Some people could die after eating a single berry and others could survive eating several.
      Medical science is mostly about figuring out the most consistent result for the majority of cases rather than cataloging the plethora of circumstances behind every individual case. It just isn't practical to do so even if it were possible in the first place.

    One of the places my husband and I lived, in Auckland, New Zealand, had a variety of deadly nightshade with these beautiful little white flowers and glossy purple-black berries. We didn't know what it was, until, at my husband's behest, his father, who was a professional landscaper, came over to clean up the property. It was such a pretty-looking plant, it was a shame it had to go, but, well... an excellent example, perhaps, of something covered by the legal term "attractive nuisance"...

So we pulled them out and bought new ones. That evening her spouse came home from work and didn't like the new plants. Chose new ones to replace them and . . . replaced them with the SAME DANG THING! Still annoys me that her aunt gives way to her spouse without a second thought or word about everything even when it doesn't make any sense.

      I think they still use a very dilute amount of belladonna for some eye exams. My eyes were very sensitive to light for a day or so. (I was with my parents and am a male anyways, so I didn't get any comments along the lines of "you look like you're in love.". The cosmetic use is because our pupils dilate slightly when we are extremely interested in something/someone [& of course when it is dark and we need to collect more light to form an image], so belladonna became a way to exaggerate that and look "romantic.")

    I've eaten Nightshade before, the "Solanum Nigrum" kind (much more specifically, probably the S. Interius variety); it has a very strong fruity tomato smell to it and tastes great. The plant still does have its poisonous aspects and there are bunches of ambiguous varieties so it's best to study up as well as test yourself for allergic reactions before consumption.
    Atropa Belladonna, at least in North America, is much rarer and confined mostly to the coasts. This plant is also quite striking in appearance so it would take a fool to mistake this for anything else.

    For a moment I was confused, as in the Netherlands we also have a plant called "nachtschade" (nacht=night) which doesn't look like this atropa belladonna but is poisonous. The Dutch 'nachtshade' is actually a plant from the Solanum family, of which we have two indigenous varieties: zwarte nachtschade (solanum nigrum) and bitterzoet (solanum dulcamara). Nightschade is called "wolfskers" in the Netherlands
