Abstract
Ånantha crocata is a plant found throughout Western France. The oenanthotoxin is quickly poisonous with an ingested dose of a few milligrams. A 43-year-old man, who ingested a few grams of the root of this plant, started to vomit within 30 minutes and developed status epilepticus, which was seriously aggravated by severe rhabdomyolysis. Recovery came after 4 days in intensive care. Medical care must be delivered swiftly to hope for a positive outcome.
