Welcome back to our spooooky series: Plants that Kill! This week Adam discusses the plant, Alpine Sweetvetch and how it was ultimately the inspiration for the book and later movie, Into The Wild. We learn about Christopher McCandless who was a victim of this deadly plant, and died in an abandoned bus in the Alaska wilderness.Information on todays topic came from here: https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/how-chris-mccandless-diedhttps://www.scribd.com/doc/166341536/The-Silent-FireHave a happy and safe Halloween everyone!
