The really frustrating thing to me is that belladonna didn't sneak into some factory somewhere, it's the active ingredient. Parents with teething infants, who are desperate to help their cranky, sad babies of course want to use something homeopathic and natural. Belladonna is also know as "deadly nightshade." Really, does that sound like a good product to give to infants? I could go on, but I'm just going to stop there.
