Teenagers with Jimson weed (Datura stramonium) poisoning.

We report 2 cases of teenagers who were poisoned with Jimson weed (Datura stramonium) and presented to the emergency department with a severe acute anticholinergic toxidrome after ingestion of several hundred seeds. The patients presented with visual hallucinations, disorientation, incomprehensible and nonsensical speech, and dilated sluggish pupils. Both patients required restraints for combat...

Clinical and Pathological Studies of Jimson Weed (datura Stramonium) Poisoning in Horses

A spontaneous intoxication in 34 horses after intake of freshly harvested ensiled maize, accidentally contaminated with young Datura stramonium plants was followed. In a 7-day study, the full clinical status was monitored and this included among others the following: body (rectal) temperature, respiratory and heart rates, colour and humidity of visible mucosae, changes in pupil size, appetite, ...

Analysis of biologically active compounds in potatoes (Solanum tuberosum), tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum), and jimson weed (Datura stramonium) seeds.

Potatoes and tomatoes, members of the Solanaceae plant family, serve as major, inexpensive low-fat food sources providing for energy, high-quality protein, fiber, vitamins, pigments, as well as other nutrients. These crops also produce biologically active secondary metabolites, which may have both adverse and beneficial effects in the diet. This limited overview, based largely on our studies wi...
