A Case of Datura Poisoning from External Application

I was asked to see a male child, aged 2 years. Complaints.?The relatives said that the child was delirious and restless, and could not recognize anyone. Present illness.?Eighteen days ago, the boy was attacked with fever attended with shivering. The fever lasted for 24 hours and then subsided. He kept well for 3 days; the fever relapsed on the fourth day, lasted again for 24 hours, and then came down, but during this attack, the child developed delirium, talked incoherently, and became restless. The guardians consulted a vaidya, who prepared an oil with datura seeds for external application in order to cure the disease
