The clinical picture of shock liver is so characteristic and resolves so rapidly that there should be no confusion with other causes of marked elevations of transaminase levels.

Re: Does the sunflower have a distinct smell to it? Apparently, modern western sunflowers have no smell, so these are probably the ones you saw at the florist. However, a few months ago, I saw a different breed of smaller sunflowers that were quite fragrant. The smell wasn't floral, but reminded me of honey, so these are probably the ones used in perfumery.
Wild onions/garlic, set bulblets on top. If a plant looks like an onion and smells like an onion you can eat it. If a plant looks like a garlic and smells like a garlic you can eat it. If you do not smell a garlic or an onion odor but you have the right look beware you might have a similar-looking toxic plant. For example, we have a native lily here in Florida that looks like an onion but has no aroma. It is toxic.
