  • Title: Tea of thornapple leaves: a rare cause of atropine intoxication.
    Author: Lamens D, De Hert S, Vermeyen K.
    Journal: Acta Anaesthesiol Belg; 1994; 45(2):55-7. PubMed ID: 7976164.
    Abstract:
    A patient was admitted with signs of an acute psychosis. There was no clear history of drug intake nor injury. The presenting clinical symptoms were similar to those of an atropine intoxication. This was later confirmed on toxicological screening of the urine. This alkaloid was ingested by means of an apparently harmless tea containing thornapple leaves.
