There are so many different stories and facts about it and it&#8217;s a great illustration of\u00a0 how some things can be toxic and useful at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><b>Identifying Features of Ergot:\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their life cycles are complex, the spores are spread by the wind to nearby open flowers of grasses and cereals. The spores germinate in the flower, infecting the ovaries. This infection leads to the production of secondary spores (conidia) encased in a sweet-smelling, sticky liquid often called honeydew. The honeydew attracts insects that carry the spores to other flowers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fungus then grows in place of the grain to form hard, purple-black sclerotium, known as an ergot. They can be quite large, up to 2 cm in length, and are very obvious in contaminated grains. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They are either harvested with the grain or fall to the ground <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">where they remain dormant. In the following spring, they germinate and produce mushroom-shaped spore bearing structures (stroma) and the whole cycle starts again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Removal of ergot bodies is done by placing the yield in a brine solution; the bodies float, while the healthy grains sink. Infested fields must be deep-ploughed; they cannot germinate if buried more than one inch in soil and therefore will not release its spores into the air.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-94392 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/totallywilduk.co.uk\/2025\/03\/18\/ergot-claviceps-purpurea\/ergot-close-up\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/totallywilduk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ergot-close-up-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/totallywilduk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ergot-close-up-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/totallywilduk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ergot-close-up-450x450.jpg 450w, https:\/\/totallywilduk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ergot-close-up-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/totallywilduk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ergot-close-up-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/totallywilduk.co.uk\/2025\/03\/18\/ergot-claviceps-purpurea\/stroma-of-ergot\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/totallywilduk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Stroma-of-ergot-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-94397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/totallywilduk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Stroma-of-ergot-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/totallywilduk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Stroma-of-ergot-450x450.png 450w, https:\/\/totallywilduk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Stroma-of-ergot-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/totallywilduk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Stroma-of-ergot-50x50.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-94397'>\n\t\t\t\tDominique Jacquin, CC BY-SA 3.0 <https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0>, via Wikimedia Commons\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<hr \/>\n<h2><b>Known hazards<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They contain a number of highly poisonous and psychoactive alkaloids, including lysergic acid (LSD), which was synthesised from the Ergot fungus in 1938 by chemist Albert Hoffmann.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since humans first began cultivating cereal grains such as wheat, rye, barley, and oats, they have been susceptible to Ergot poisoning. This fungus has devastated crops and European societies for many centuries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When made into bread or other products such as barley beer, it causes ergotism. This causes convulsions, muscle spasms, vomiting, hallucinations, and a gangrenous pain where the victim\u2019s limbs, fingers, toes, and nose were \u201ceaten up by the holy fire that blackened like charcoal\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Julius Caesar lost legions of soldiers to poisoning during his campaigns in Gaul. Severe epidemics in France between 900 AD and 1300 AD killed between 20,000 to 50,000 people, leaving the nation susceptible to invasions that eventually toppled this Holy Roman kingdom. During the Middle Ages, poisoning due to the consumption of bread made from ergot-infected grain was common in Europe. These epidemics were known as Saint Anthony&#8217;s fire (named after The Hospital Brothers of St. Anthony, an order of monks who specialised in treating ergotism victims) or Devil\u2019s curse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the 14\u201317th century, there were several outbreaks of the so-called \u201cdancing plague\u201d in parts of Europe. This caused people to uncontrollably dance or convulse for days at a time, sometimes resulting in injury or even death. Again Ergot is thought to be responsible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some believe it may be partly responsible for the witch trials in the UK and the Salem witch trials in America.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fewer outbreaks have occurred since then owing to grain being carefully monitored. However, a severe outbreak of poisoning occurred in France, in 1951 resulted in five deaths.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-94405\" src=\"https:\/\/totallywilduk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ergotism-Mathis_Gothart_Grunewald-247x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"247\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/totallywilduk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ergotism-Mathis_Gothart_Grunewald-247x300.jpg 247w, https:\/\/totallywilduk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ergotism-Mathis_Gothart_Grunewald-123x150.jpg 123w, https:\/\/totallywilduk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ergotism-Mathis_Gothart_Grunewald.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 247px) 100vw, 247px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><b>Uses of Ergot<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite its toxicity, people have historically used this as a medicine. People noticed that pregnant pigs that ate this went into premature labour, which led to midwives using it on humans. Its use became more mainstream in the 1800&#8217;s when doctors began to use it to speed up labour, and in the 20th century, scientists isolated specific Ergot alkaloids and turned them into drugs.The main 2 being ergotamine and ergometrine. Ergotamine is a treatment for migraine. Ergometrine is a drug that constricts blood vessels and it&#8217;s mainly used to prevent bleeding after childbirth. Researchers are investigating the use of ergot-based medications to treat Parkinson\u2019s disease and dementia.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_94406\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94406\" style=\"width: 203px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-94406\" src=\"https:\/\/totallywilduk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Bottle_of_ergot_extract-203x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"203\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/totallywilduk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Bottle_of_ergot_extract-203x300.jpg 203w, https:\/\/totallywilduk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Bottle_of_ergot_extract-101x150.jpg 101w, https:\/\/totallywilduk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Bottle_of_ergot_extract.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-94406\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">See page for author, CC BY 4.0 &lt;https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0&gt;, via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><b>Ergots Potential lookalikes<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They are pretty distinctive.
