Belladonna, also known as deadly nightshade (scientific name: Atropa belladonna), is a highly toxic plant native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. It contains alkaloids such as atropine, scopolamine, and hyoscyamine, which can cause severe poisoning if ingested. Historically, belladonna has been used for various medicinal purposes, but its toxicity makes it dangerous. The name "belladonna" means "beautiful lady" in Italian, as women in the Renaissance used its extracts to dilate their pupils for cosmetic purposes.
