Abstract
Sneezing-powders containing pulverized root of veratrum album (white hellebore) have recently been marketed in the Scandinavian countries. The powder, imported from the Federal Republic of Germany, has caused severe intoxications.
Sneezing-powders containing veratrum alkaloids may cause severe intoxications. This is illustrated by seven case reports from the different Scandinavian Poison Information Centres.
