Dandelion Opium

What if dandelions are like opium?  Dandelion means Lion's Tooth --> lion's bite, what if dandelion latex can rip you apart just like poppies?

What puts you back together again if you were mad enough to poison yourself with dandelion?  Maybe you wait until the poison clears out of your system naturally?  Could a shaman of the ancient world use this plant to try to see the future?  Imagine if this dandelion opium was so powerful that only young people could survive it.  Eventually there could develope the tradition of a young woman leading a terribly dangerous plant spirit into town during a spring fertility ritual.  Everyone must have been praying for a good year and plentiful food...

So, I think that the Taraskon dragon is actually the spirit of the dandelion.  It would be lovely if I'm correct.  I'd like to say, "This changes everything."  Quite vain of me - sorry.
