Presentation
This presentation will introduce us to some of the plants in our flora that can cause poisoning, hallucinations, dermatitis, or other problems if ingested or handled. [perkiomenwatershed.org]
& Rose, western water-hemlock, and Cicuta virosa L., northern water-hemlock, is presented. The three perennials are native in Canada and all contain cicutoxin, a chemical very poisonous to humans and livestock. [nrcresearchpress.com]

- Vomiting
STOMACH. ► Nausea and vomiting, [4]. ► Vomiting, [5], [6], [8]. ► Sick at the stomach (after one hour), [9]. ► Vomiting several times, [7]. ► Ejections of frothy mucus, mixed with a dark flocculent sediment and blood, [4]. ► Every few minutes he complained [homeoint.org]

Mushrooms with potential liver, kidney, and CNS effects are often associated with onset of vomiting that is delayed for 6 or more hours after ingestion. Toxic species include Amanita, Galerina, Gyromitra, and Lepiota. [accessemergencymedicine.mhmedical.com]
As there commonly exists a spontaneous tendency to vomit, occasioned by the poison itself, this should be assisted by mechanical means, by irritating the throat with the finger, or with a feather. [henriettes-herb.com]
- Nausea
Poisoning became apparent after forty minutes and the man was admitted to hospital with a variety of symptoms including nausea and convulsions which were so severe that a paralysing agent was required. [thepoisongarden.co.uk]

MANAGEMENT: Treatment consists mainly of prompt airway management and seizure control, plus decontamination if achieved early and after stabilization. In the event of renal failure, the use of hemodialysis has been employed successfully. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Prognosis is good, however, if prompt supportive care is provided. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis The prognosis is good if the patient presents early and receives appropriate decontamination and supportive care. [emedicine.medscape.com]
