Angel's Trumpet

toxic part: all parts, especially seeds and flowers

what happens: tropane alkaloids (scopolamine, atropine, hyoscyamine) cause severe hallucinations, hyperthermia, seizures, coma, death. people get permanent brain damage even when they survive

timeline: symptoms within an hour

common mistake: teenagers using it recreationally (TikTok has spread misinformation about "datura trips" — there is no safe dose, multiple deaths every year). also kids playing with the seed pods

emergency: poison control + ER, but expect ICU admission
