N2  - The thistle grows in the dry areas of North-Africa and is rather common. The juice of the root is poisonous. Two toxic components have been isolated and their formulas specified. They induce liver necrosis, and block the ADP-ATP conversion. Prognosis is most often fatal, except in mild forms when symptomatic treatment is very early.<p /> <p>Language: fr</p>
