What I don't understand with adults poisoning themselves with Gloriosa,
particularly with the rhizomes, is that where the taste of colchicine is
concerned, it is said to be "very bitter". How anyone could fail to
notice that I find hard to comprehend. In general, bitterness is often a
sign of toxicity and a guide to direct the consumer elsewhere.

I believe that most cases are murder, so it would be in something to
disguise the taste.
