Datura stramonium belladona alkaloid ailesinin bir üyesi olan halüsinojenik bir bitkidir. Fazla miktarda alındığında halüsinasyon, ajitasyon ve deliryuma neden olabilir. Genellikle kurutulmuş yapraklarından hazırlanan sigaralar astım ve bronşit tedavisi için kullanılırken, tohumları akne, egzema, hemoroid tedavisinde ve antispazmotik amaçlı oral yolla alınmaktadır. Tedavi amacıyla bilinçsiz kullanımı, kazara gıda olarak kullanımı veya halusinojen etkilerinden yararlanmak amacıyla kötüye kullanılması sonucu ölümcül olabilecek antikolinerjik toksisiteye neden olabilmektedir. Bu yazıda da Datura stramonium yapraklarından yapılan dolma yemeği yedikten sonra ciltte kızarıklık ve deliryum ile hastaneye getirilen ve Datura stramonium toksisitesine maruz kalan bir çocuk hasta sunulmuştur. Nedeni bilinmeyen deliryum veya antikolinerjik bulgularla başvuran hastaların öyküsünde toksik etkili ilaç, madde ve bitki alımı mutlaka sorgulanmalıdır.
