Abstract
Asthmador (a stramonium -belladonna mixture) caused poisoning in 2 individuals. At a time when Asthmador ingestion is becoming increasingly popular as a hallucinogen, it is well to include it in the differential diagnosis of acute psychotic reactions. The clinical picture may be similar to that of a lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) psychosis. However, the marked pupillary dilatation, failure of the pupils to accommodate, and tachycardia seen with intoxication from Asthmador may be helpful in making the differential diagnosis.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
