The baseline clinical toxicity threshold is approximately 8 mg/kg. Doses approaching or exceeding 5x this threshold represent critical or life-threatening exposure.
Primary mechanism: Ibotenic acid and muscimol cross blood-brain barrier causing deep coma and spasms. Symptoms typically manifest in gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, or central nervous systems depending on absorbed bioavailability.
Emesis must NEVER be induced if the patient is already showing neurological symptoms (ataxia, tremors, seizures), is comatose, has ingested caustic/corrosive agents, or is a species incapable of vomiting (e.g., horses, rabbits, rodents).
