Dean,
Fiddlenecks (Amsinckia spp.) can be a problem for horses. They contain chemicals known as pyrrolizidine alkaloids that damage the liver. A horse would have to eat a fair amount of the plant (the seeds are more dangerous). The toxin's effects are cumulative so a single feeding shouldn't be a problem. It takes time to cause enough injury to the liver to cause problems. It is best, of course, to prevent further exposure. Once the horse shows signs, there is no specific treatment

The market is flooded with products that make bold claims and then never deliver. Many of these products are perfectly marketed so that people buy them and never return them once they do not work.

This is how this stinky flower gets polinated. A strange way of surviving it kind of reminds me of something oh yes vultures they flock where a carcas of an animal lies maybe miss stinky is atracted to that as well. I think a lovely cup of tea will…
