Following on from extensive research on this subject, Tom (biologist) did a great job in holding our attention and fascination. He talked in detail about in which situations animals may poison themselves, this involved looking into their evolutionary history thus explaining why there are no recorded cases of wild animals poisoning themselves. It was interesting to note that a survey conducted over the last 10 years in 5 European counties, concluded that plant poisonings with companion animals only accounted for 3.9% of all poisonings and how these poisonings can be explained, such as being put in the feed, or tropical plants brought into the county, which are from a geological area where the animal has had no evolutionary history.
A domestic animal has the same ability to self select as a wild animal.
The class also covered the mechanisms involved in self-selection; ground breaking information.
The hall may have looked a little retro, however everyone loved it as it was cozy, spacious and had that ‘feel of learning to it’, while also being in beautiful English countryside.

STUDENT FEEDBACK
Thank you to you and Tom for a fascinating and interesting Class on Saturday. As you know I am very new to the topic but reading all your material and listening to Tom on Saturday, I feel like I have wasted so many years - I can't believe I haven't discovered Zoopharmacognosy before! Tom's knowledge and understanding of the science behind the subject is simply amazing and it was really helpful to have you there to simplify and clarify and make sure the "clever scientist" had our understanding too! Thanks again - I can't wait for my next class. G. C.
Thank you all for another great day yesterday. Again I found it informative and thought provoking and made me feel very priviledged to be learning it all. Sara B
Just to say thanks for the Saturday workshop and to say what a lovely venue! Great location, really warm and cosy with a friendly air about it which seemed to rub off on the participants. Carly
A couple of write ups to follow shortly from students.
