[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1513024, member: 27490"] You would see a lot more signs of respiratory distress if she had mint perella toxicosis. I underlined the necropsy results, as you can see, the clinical effect is dramatic. Here is an abstract on mint perella toxicosis: [b]Perilla frutescens or purple mint has been associated with atypical interstitial pneumonia (AIP) for a quarter of a century.
