Article Synopsis
- Managing plant poisonings in the emergency department is complicated, mainly due to the difficulty in identifying the specific toxic plant species involved, which is critical for determining the appropriate treatment.
- A case of a 23-year-old male who experienced severe symptoms after consuming herbal tea led to the identification of Datura stramonium (jimson weed) using AI software, as timely access to botanical expertise was unavailable.
- The case suggests that AI tools with visual recognition can aid healthcare providers in accurately identifying toxic plants, enhancing patient safety and treatment effectiveness.
