When the 100 red seeds struck the red button—A case report on survival following intentional ingestion of Abrus precatorius

Abstract

Background: Abrus precatorius is among the most lethal natural poisons, with its seeds commonly known as rosary peas, jequirity beans, or crab’s eye seeds. The primary toxin, abrin, is an extremely potent ribosome-inactivating protein capable of causing multiorgan dysfunction even at very low doses. Because no specific antidote exists, early recognition and prompt supportive management are essential. Here we discuss a case of intentional ingestion of 100 crushed seeds as per the patient which he got it through online platform and how we managed the patient in a multidisciplinary approach.
