In Australia, more than a hundred people have suffered from hallucinogenic spinach

Spinach, which causes delusions and hallucinations, is being recalled from store shelves in Australia. 120 people, including children, have already suffered from the use of dangerous greens, The Guardian reports.

The infected spinach was sold at Costco stores in New South Wales. People who were poisoned by it showed serious symptoms: confused consciousness, hallucinations, delirium, dilated pupils, redness of the skin, rapid heartbeat, blurred vision, dry mouth and fever. All the victims needed medical help, and powerful hallucinations did not stop for a week: people saw things that really do not exist. Despite the severity of the poisoning, no one has died yet.

"Initial investigations suggest the presence of an accidental contaminant in the food product. NSW Health is working with the Food Control Authority of New South Wales, as well as other jurisdictions to further investigate the problem," the state health agency said.

Presumably, spinach infected an unknown weed. Officials asked citizens to get rid of the purchased spinach in order to avoid new poisoning.
