Not just for the victim, but also for the poor soul who accidentally attacked.

Violet nodded, also taking notes. "Yes, I think that's really why people are so afraid of werewolves--because it's something that could conceivably happen to anybody if they were unlucky." Violet thought for a few minutes about how awful it would be to never be able to go out and look at the full moon any more, as a human, and felt very sad.

"Aconite--one of the main ingredients--is both a heart and a nerve poison, and you can poison yourself just by using the slightest bit too much. The symptoms include irregular heart rhythms, numbness and tingling, and nausea." Violet knew these well enough, because Miss Howard had once made her list them all three hundred times when she'd caught Violet experimenting with some aconite she'd pilfered from the potion cupboard at home. "I think the ancient Romans used to execute people by making them drink it."
