The poisonous plant garden, now known as the Toxic Plant Garden, at the School of Veterinary Medicine at UC Davis was originated by Dr. Murray Fowler in 1970. Dr. Fowler provided the following brief history of the garden: Soon after moving to the new Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH) in 1970, I was able to talk the hospital director, Dr. Robert Cello, into converting a small lot on the southwest corner of the VMTH complex to a poisonous plant garden.
Night Sweats Caused by Medication. There are several causes of night sweats in men that are not life-threatening, and medication is generally one of them. They include anti-depressants, acetaminophen, Viagra and nitroglycerin. These medicines and others react with body chemistry and cause night sweats.
A woman's diet can change how the body metabolizes, or processes, estrogen, which can lead to different concentrations of estrogen in the body and therefore hot flash and night sweat episodes. Diets high in unhealthy fats and sugars tend to increase the frequency of menopausal hot flashes and night sweats.
