TY - JOUR PY - 1992// TI - Jimson weed toxicity: management of anticholinergic plant ingestion JO - American family physician A1 - Vanderhoff, B. T. A1 - Mosser, K. H. SP - 526 EP - 530 VL - 46 IS - 2 N2 - Jimson weed is a hallucinogenic plant that is common in rural areas. Consumption of any part of the plant can result in severe anticholinergic toxicity. The clinical presentation of jimson weed toxicity is similar to that seen in cases of atropine poisoning.
