TY - JOUR PY - 1988// TI - Five cases of Thermopsis poisoning JO - Journal of toxicology - clinical toxicology A1 - Spoerke, D. G. A1 - Murphy, M. M. A1 - Wruk, K. M. A1 - Rumack, B. H. SP - 397 EP - 406 VL - 26 IS - 5-6 N2 - Various Thermopsis species are found in the foothills and plains of the Rocky Mountains. There are no reported cases of human ingestion to Thermopsis reported in the literature. We report 5 cases of ingestion of seeds or flowers where the primary symptoms were nausea, vomiting and headache of several hours duration. As few as 6 seeds produced symptoms. The common names used by parents when calling the poison center could have easily lead to misidentification and a careful history and subsequent professional identification were required to ascertain the actual plant involved.
