Aromatic, furan ketones are present in all parts of the plant, but especially the flower and seed heads, and are readily absorbed from the digestive tract. Either directly or after bioactivation, the ketones are severly toxic to the type I pneumocytes in the lungs. This results in a proliferation of type II pneumocytes which rapidly fill the lungs and cause acute interstitial pneumonia that is frequently fatal.

Perilla Mint is known by many names -- beefsteak plant, Chinese basil, rattlesnake weed, purple mint -- but by any name, it kills goats and other ruminants and horses that eat it.
Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton, a member of the Lamiasceae (mint) family, is appearing in pastures across Tennessee, Mississippi, Indiana, and other states. Originally from Asia, it is considered an invasive species in the USA. Perilla Mint causes respiratory distress syndrome (panting disease). The plant contains ketones that cause lung inflammation and impair the exchange of gases involving in breathing. The flowers are the most dangerous, but the entire plant is toxic, even when baled into hay. The greatest risk comes when the goat consumes the live plant.
