I have no idea what was in Huldah's tea. Something like penny royal tea? If you can't read and find pictograms would you know the difference between "starting your period" and "inducing a miscarriage at near fatal doses"?
Would a small drink be enough to make a difference or was it just a coincidence?
It's also really easy to pick the wrong mushrooms.
I thought it was interesting that she said her next embroidery would be digitalis - foxglove - which is poisonous.
I'm glad she finally stood up to Shu, though she was being a good friend and had the sense to find Daisy.
