N2  - The Los Angeles Health Department reports that 2 persons became ill 20 to 30 minutes following the ingestion of Brussels sprouts and tree tobacco obtained from a garden. The latter (Nicotlana glauca), was mistaken for Swiss chard, and the two plants were boiled together and served as a vegetable. The symptoms consisted of nausea and dizziness followed by great muscular weakness, dullness, and stupor. Diarrhea and vomiting followed. After 2 days a marked weakness of the eye muscles occurred resulting in double vision. Both patients recovered.
