Résumé
Allium tricoccum (commonly known as "ramps") is an edible plant known for its strong garlic-like odor and onion flavor. Unfortunately, A tricoccum mimics such as Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis) and False Hellebore (Veratrum viride) can lead to foraging errors and subsequent patient harm/toxicity. We describe 3 adults who foraged and ate what they believed were A tricoccum and then subsequently became symptomatic with detectable digoxin concentrations. A 41-y-old woman, 41-y-old man, and a 31-y-old man presented to the emergency department after ingesting an unknown plant that was believed to be A tricoccum. On arrival to the emergency department, the patients were hypotensive and bradycardic. They had detectable digoxin concentrations ranging from 0.08 ng·mL
