uv herbs
- a solution can be made of serium rue seeds..can be taken to enhance hallucinogens and soak celery sticks for a fun experience. (never done it but I always wante to) and St. John's wart oil glows pink. if u ever find pink seaweed that's reactive as is. Urine too (I work making fibre faces and no matter how much I would wash the wool, some would come out stained an more relative than others) Opals and other minerals also glow under uv (used in mines)

- The only reason tonic water contains quinine is because the Brits drank Gin&Tonic and malaria was a problem so lets not change our patterns, lets just keep drining G&T in the jungle.
