Socrates did not kill himself. He was sentenced to death. He was forced to drink a Hemlock poison.
Hemlock was the poison used to kill Socrates. He got colder and colder and then he fell over dead.
It is a poisonous drink. Socrates was forced to kill him self by drinking it.
Hemlock contains coniine - a powerful neurotoxin. It is EXTREMELY toxic, even in small quantities. You should never ingest it, as it can kill you.
Hamlet dies because he is stabbed by Laertes with a poisoned sword. It is not stated what the poison is. Perhaps it could be hemlock, but it seems that hemlock is less fast-acting, especially for the tiny dose that Hamlet must have received. (See Plato's Phaedo for an example of death by hemlock.)
Eastern Hemlock Trees are some of the largest and most common trees in the park. They are under attack from a non-native insect called the hemlock woolly adelgid. Without successful intervention, the hemlock woolly adelgid is likely to kill most of the hemlock trees in the park.
The poison used to kill Socrates was called hemlock. It is a poisonous plant that causes respiratory failure and ultimately leads to death. Socrates was sentenced to consume a cup of hemlock as a method of execution in ancient Athens.
Poisonous hemlock contains a toxin called coniine, which disrupts the nervous system by blocking nerve signals. When ingested, coniine can lead to paralysis, including paralysis of the muscles used for breathing, ultimately causing death due to respiratory failure.
Hemlock hair, also known as hemlock woolly adelgid, primarily feeds on the sap of hemlock trees. This tiny aphid-like insect uses its specialized mouthparts to extract nutrients from the phloem tissue, which can weaken and ultimately kill the trees if infestations are severe. Their feeding can lead to tree stress, decline, and increased susceptibility to other pests and diseases.
