Juglone is produced in the tissue of members of the walnut family. It is
secreted into the soil and stunts the growth of other plants around it by
affecting the processes of respiration. It can be found in many consumer
products like hair dye and walnut oil stain. There have been no reported cases
of toxicity in humans but there has been in horses. Juglone seems to cause
sedative effects on animals.
