Seizures have been reported following exposure to the plants listed in Box 4.7 (Barr, 2006).

Several of these plants cause vomiting. The gastric content from vomitus or lavage fluids can be submitted for plant material identification. Treatments for toxic plant ingestion include decontamination and symptomatic and supportive care (including AEMs) (see Table 4.1, Chapters 12 and 24). Detailed information on geographic distribution of these plants and clinical presentation, treatment and prognosis following exposure is beyond the scope of this book and can be found elsewhere (Barr, 2006).
