Datura stramonium L. (DS) is a wild-growing plant widely distributed and easily accessible. It contains a variety of toxic anticholinergic alkaloids such as atropine, hyoscamine, and scopolamine. Voluntary or accidental ingestion can produce severe anticholinergic poisoning. We report an unusual case of DS intoxication occurring in a geophagous young child after accidental ingestion of the plant. Our case is original because of the young age of the victim and the underlying geophagia facilitating the occurrence of poisoning.
曼陀罗（DS）是一种广泛分布且易于获取的野生植物。它含有多种有毒的抗胆碱能生物碱，如阿托品、莨菪碱和东莨菪碱。自愿或意外摄入均可导致严重的抗胆碱能中毒。我们报告一例不寻常的曼陀罗中毒病例，该病例发生在一名有食土癖的幼儿意外摄入该植物之后。我们的病例具有独特性，原因在于受害者年龄小且潜在的食土癖促使了中毒的发生。
