Zombie Cucumber

Dead Frequency · 06-28-2003, 08:21 PM

In Haiti the greatest punishment that can be given to a human being is to kill his body and resurrect him as a zombie destined to toil indefinitely with no soul. For serious crimes dark sorcerers (bokors) concoct a complicated poison containing the ground bones of dead children, various plants and animal parts. But the key ingredient is a fish closely related to the Fugu fish.

If you are familiar with the Japanese cuisine, you know that the Fugu fish contains one of the most powerful neurotoxins known to man. Only a small portion of the fish is edible is incredibly difficult to prepare. As a show of machismo men will order this very expensive and potentially deadly dish, often falling over dead in the restaurant. But the unique thing about Fugu fish poisoning is the tendency for victims to suddenly regain consciousness. If the poison doesn't kill you, it slows down the metabolism to a point where a pulse and respiration aren't detectable. For this reason, it is customary in Japan to leave a body killed by Fugu fish beside the grave for three days, just in case it snaps out of it.

So if you've been really bad in Haiti, the bokors will come after you and cover you with an itchy powder containing a very similar fish. You scratch, you bleed, the poison enters your blood and you 'die.' They take you to a hospital, pronounce you dead, take you to the graveyard and bury you. By the way, with both Fugu fish and Haitian zombification rituals, although physically paralyzed, you are conscious to both auditory and visual stimulus this entire time. A little while later, they dig you up.

datura stramonium

Here's where the zombie's cucumber (datura stramonium- known in Haiti as the concombre zombie) enters the picture. Like many members of the Datura family, our cucumber is a hallucinogen. After the victim has been severely beaten and regains consciousness, he begins receiving regular doses of the zombie's cucumber. These doses continue regularly to keep him in a disoriented state and convince him that he is a zombie and that he has no soul. The zombie is then put to work as a plantation slave for the rest of his life.

The title of this thread sounds like a William S. Burroughs euphemism for flaccidity....which of course causes my thoughts to turn to my own narcoleptic peeter. Why won't it say hello to the sky anymore?
