The symptoms described are consistent with curare poisoning, which paralyzes voluntary muscles including those responsible for swallowing and breathing, leading to asphyxiation. Hemlock and strychnine can also cause muscle paralysis, but they typically cause convulsions as well. Milkweed juice and usnic acid are not known to cause these symptoms.
