Abstract:
We report an unusual digitalis poisoning case, with a positive result, caused by the swallowing of digitalis purpurea leaves. They were taken for borage leaves, usually used to prepare "risotto". Be careful not to eat vegetables you don't usually eat, because some of them may have different toxicity levels.
