Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL: Asthmador was an asthma treatment in the US in the 1950s. It was made up of 3 toxic/hallucinogenic compounds belladonna (atropine), stramonium (nightshade/jimson weed), and potassium perchlorate (oxidant commonly used in fireworks). One common delivery method for Asthmador - cigarettes! by Geek_Nan

I had to have a lymph node removed from my face for a melanoma biopsy and it was entangled with my salivary gland. I was given scopolamine patches to control the production of saliva while it healed to control the leakage from the gland. They worked really well.
