And Dr. Puerick Rogze is an expert on medicine and would very much know what those ingredients would be.

You can't make a poison without something poisonous; there has to be a certain level of toxicity to any chemical substance being used in the formulation of a poison. That or you increase the amount administered into the body, which we know is the opposite of Gift's purpose and effects as it's refined.

Now every substance in the world as we know it today has some degree of toxicity, even the water we drink and air we breath. Even so, it's a pretty big stretch for my suspension of disbelief that Margarita can manage to not only discover some way to get non-toxic medicinal materials to become a heavily toxic poison (when said formula's main ingredient is already a heavily toxic plant she had no access too), but also manages to fool the expert on the subject.

That's not even touching the whole epidemic debacle.
