Subject: Help/Info: Dieffenbachia

I am trying to locate references to or 
information about the use of Dieffenbachia 
in the slave trade of early America.

I understand that this was given to slaves 
during their voyage to America to keep them from talking. 
It swells the tongue.

I would appreciate any help in this.

Thanks, pj
