Digitalis and a catlick

ailbheI'm tired of citing this every time someone says "And the best thing is, it's totally natural, so you know it's safe!" I see it a lot in pregnancy and breastfeeding communities, which I find particularly worrying.
So what else can I cite? What other noxious medicinal toxins are Totally Natural and well-known enough that most people will have heard of them?
*sigh*
In brighter news, today Linnea and I watched Charcoal (black cat) washing her face. It was visibly educational of Linnea. She made a few remarks about soap and showers and Charcoal washing her hair, and wiped the bolognese sauce off her own face with a muslin, but with catlike movements, and copying Charcoal in that she did the chin first, then the forehead, then the cheeks, etc.
Speaking of washing hair, I have no idea what to do with mine. Now that I'm swimming once or twice a week in a chlorinated pool, the not-washing it method doesn't work so well. It feels like it's full of glue again. I've tried washing it with whatever bottle of shampoo we have in the house and that doesn't help much either. I'm going to try washing up liquid soon, in case it's excess of grease that's the problem, but I have a weird feeling it's the scales on the hairs standing up that's the problem. Too much cider vinegar will make it sticky. Should I try plain white vinegar?
