  • Lakto-malsano estas grava malsano, ofte fatala, pro la engluto de lakto, laktaĵoj aŭ bova/ŝafa viando kun toksino, kiun la besto ricevis pro plantoj, kiuj enhavas tremetonon. Ĝiaj simptomoj estas malforto, anoreksio, vomado, konstipo kaj eventuale muskolaj tremoj. La veneniĝo per tremetono okazas pro la ĥemiaĵo ofta en plantoj de la familio Asteracoj. (eo)

  • Milk sickness, also known as tremetol vomiting or, in animals, as trembles, is a kind of poisoning, characterized by trembling, vomiting, and severe intestinal pain, that affects individuals who ingest milk, other dairy products, or meat from a cow that has fed on white snakeroot plant, which contains the poison tremetol. Although very rare today, milk sickness claimed thousands of lives among migrants to the Midwestern United States in the early 19th century, especially in frontier areas along the Ohio River Valley and its tributaries where white snakeroot was prevalent. New settlers were unfamiliar with the plant and its properties. A notable victim was Nancy Hanks Lincoln, the mother of Abraham Lincoln, who died in 1818. Nursing calves and lambs may have also died from their mothers' milk contaminated with snakeroot, although the adult cows and sheep showed no signs of poisoning. Cattle, horses, and sheep are the animals most often poisoned. Anna Pierce Hobbs Bixby is credited today by the American medical community with having identified white snakeroot as the cause of the illness. Told about the plant's properties by an elderly Shawnee woman she befriended, Bixby did testing to observe and document evidence. She wrote up her findings to share the discovery in the medical world. The Shawnee woman's name has been lost to history. (en)
  • Doença do leite é uma doença aguda, muitas vezes fatal, causada pela ingestão de leite, laticínios ou carne de boi ou carneiro que estejam contaminados por toxinas ingeridas pelos animais que se alimentaram de plantas ou ervas que contenham . É caracterizada por fraqueza, anorexia, vômito, constipação e às vezes tremores musculares. É causada pela intoxicação por um composto químico encontrado no tremetol que é facilmente encontrado em plantas da família Asteraceae. (pt)
