Brackish Frond

Uses
A poison can be found in the spiky flat fronds of this fern. If several fresh leaves are concentrated together, the poison can be fatal in a few hours. In it's natural diluted state, a single bit that is eaten can produce nausea, fatality only if a great quantity is eaten. Once the leaves are dried, the poison is neutralized. It cannot be contracted via touch, it must be ingested.

This plant is also used as a curative for the disease Starvation Sickness.

Description
This is a pond fern that thrives in the muddy banks of both ponds and rivers, with a reddish-purple stem.

Found
Along the banks of ponds and rivers during the spring and summer only. During fall and winter the plant dies off.

Treatment
The only treatment is immediately after eating a large enough quantity that might produce death. Vomiting must be started, minor amounts of violet death can be used, and immense amounts of water drank to flush the system. If this is not done within the first thirty minutes to an hour, the poison will have already spread too far. Even if this is done, the wolf will still be very sick for several days afterwards, usually entirely incapacitated.
