Jason Y1 - 2021 N1 - T2 - The Atlas of Emergency Medicine, 5e AB - Pokeweed (Phytolacca americana) is one of the most common ingested plants and contains a toxin called phytolaccotoxin. Pokeweed leaves are sometimes occasionally eaten as a vegetable (poke salad) after parboiling the leaves. If the leaves or unripe berries are eaten raw, acute onset of gastroenteritis occurs within a few hours of ingestion. Bradycardia, heart blocks, and hypotension have been reported as well.
