A case is presented of a 76-year-old male who ingested Nicotiana glauca and developed severe nicotine-alkaloid toxicity primarily characterized by neuromuscular blockade and respiratory failure. Recovery occurred with supportive care.

BACKGROUND A wide range of plants contain nicotinic and nicotinic-like alkaloids. Of this diverse group, those that have been reported to cause human poisoning appear to have similar mechanisms of toxicity and presenting patients therefore have comparable toxidromes. This review describes the
