- Physical Description: Cocculus appears as a poisonous berry, the dried fruit of Anamirta cocculus L. Contains several substances including about one percent picrotoxin. Pure picrotoxin occurs as shiny leaflets with an intensely bitter taste or as a microcrystalline powder. Very poisonous!. Used in medicine as a central nervous system stimulant and antidote for barbiturate poisoning. Not currently regarded as a useful therapeutic agent. Source: CAMEO Chemicals

- First Aid: Warning: Picrotoxin is a powerful stimulant and affects all portions of the central nervous system. Picrotoxin is a highly toxic alkaloid convulsant poison. Epileptics may be more sensitive to picrotoxin.; Signs and Symptoms of Picrotoxin Exposure: Signs and symptoms of acute exposure to picrotoxin may include slowing of pulse followed by increased pulse rate, tachycardia, and arrhythmias. Headache, salivation, sweating, dilation of pupils, loss of vision, muscle rigidity, excitement, hyperactivity, delirium, hallucinations, and convulsions may be observed. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hyperpnea (excessive respiration), pulmonary edema, respiratory failure, and coma may also be noted.; Emergency Life-Support Procedures: Acute exposure to picrotoxin may require decontamination and life support for the victims. Emergency personnel should wear protective clothing appropriate to the type and degree of contamination. Air-purifying or supplied-air respiratory equipment should also be worn, as necessary. Rescue vehicles should carry supplies such as plastic sheeting and disposable plastic bags to assist in preventing spread of contamination.; Inhalation Exposure:; 1.
