ABSTRACT
Angel's trumpet is a poisonous shrub recently imported to Korea for ornamental PURPOSE. It contains tropane alkaloids and the ingestion of any part of the plant can cause serious anticholinergic toxicity. Not only accidental ingestion, intentional intake as hallucinogen is not uncommon in the United States and Europe. We report a woman who ingested angel's trumpet by mistake and showed anticholinergic syndrome. The potential public medical harm of this widespread plant should be reported in the media, along with the associated dangers from misuse as a hallucinogen.
