Hemlock water dropwort (Oenanthe crocata) is probably the most poisonous plant in the British Isles. The roots are the most toxic part of the plant and have been eaten in mistake for the roots of several other plant species with often fatal results. A recent nonfatal case of poisoning is reported and previous cases reviewed. Present evidence suggests that barbiturates, particularly short-acting agents are life saving and are the drugs of choice in the treatment of the convulsions.
毒芹（水毒芹）可能是不列颠群岛上毒性最强的植物。其根部是该植物毒性最强的部分，曾有人误将其当作其他几种植物的根食用，常常导致致命后果。本文报告了一例近期的非致命中毒病例，并对既往病例进行了回顾。目前的证据表明，巴比妥类药物，尤其是短效制剂可挽救生命，是治疗惊厥的首选药物。
