“…Intoxications because of food consumption have been described for buckwheat (Glaizal et al, 2013;Perharič et al, 2013) and millet contaminated with TA (Fretz et al, 2007;Rwiza, 1991). Product contaminations are also known for maize products (e.g., popcorn) and food for infants and toddlers (EFSA, 2013;Mulder et al, 2015Mulder et al, , 2016.…”

Thorn Apple or Jimson Weed (Datura stramonium) is a tropane alkaloid containing widespread pest plant growing in central Europe. This pest predominantly occurs in millet, buckwheat and maize cultivation. Therefore, sound cleaning of these crops is just as pivotal as reliable analytics. The cleaning of millet at laboratory scale with commercial mechanical cleaning devices, such as sieves, indented separators or table sorters without using colour sorters, reduces the dark coloured Datura seed content by up to 99%. Nevertheless, the few remaining Datura seeds (up to one nut per 30 kg) could lead to an exceedance of the European Union (EU) limit values for tropane alkaloids in baby food. However, plant material other than seeds or even invisible abrasion of Datura seeds can contaminate the millet during harvest, handling, cleaning processes or crop transportation. Contamination originating from adhesive dust can be removed by dehulling the kernels, and a reduction below the EU detection limit could be achieved.

A meticulously planned poisoning in White Oleander by Janet Fitch published in 1999 is the case study for this chapter. After being spurned by her lover Barry, Ingrid brews up a deadly concoction of oleander, jimsonweed (Datura) and belladonna (Chapter 4) in the solvent DMSO. Barry touches the poison (the DMSO making it extra sticky), and it passes through his skin into the blood and he dies, apparently from cardiac arrest. Ingrid denies the murder but is caught and imprisoned. Although we find out little in the novel about his death, this toxic trio of plants is more than capable of having caused it. The cardiac glycosides in oleander act in a similar way to digoxin (Chapter 6), so much so that oleander-poisoned patients arriving at hospital are sometimes misdiagnosed with digitalis poisoning. Datura is known more for its hallucinogenic properties, and toxicologists are most likely to come across teenagers drinking or smoking it recreationally. We will also bust an urban myth that using oleander sticks to roast hotdogs on a campfire can be fatal.
