Atropine extraction from Atropa bella-donna
Advanced equipment required for extraction & extreme toxicity
The extraction process requires the use of advanced laboratory equipment and should only be performed by individuals with appropriate training. Always wear protective gloves and eye protection when handling Atropa bella-donna extracts. The concentrated toxins can be absorbed through the skin or mucous membranes. After handling, wash thoroughly and avoid any contact with your face, mouth, or eyes.

Recipie
The extraction process requires the use of advanced laboratory equipment to ensure both effectiveness and safety. Atropa bella-donna primarily contains atropine, but also significant amounts of other tropane alkaloids, including hyoscyamine and scopolamine. It is challenging to selectively isolate atropine from scopolamine and hyoscyamine due to their similar chemical properties.
