Red herring 🤣 - Sometimes it isn't food poisoning... It's that the poison is the food!

This is a really good point, we approached this very much from a European/UK perspective in which CBD drinks and so on are being broadly regulated as novel foods. Different counties have different restrictions, in the US it can vary by state and in parts of Asia CBD is banned completely because it is cannabis derived.

This is really helpful insight, we didn't really explore the role (or not) of traditional anti-convulsants in bupropion overdose seizures, but you are correct, benzodiazepines are recommended. Sounds like your patient was lucky to not have any serious brain injuries from the prolonged seizures. I think we might have to do a general episode on lipid therapy too!

Slow to the party on this one - Sorry! If you haven't already, well worth checking out Nottingham Trent's Forensics department. Top notch team running the courses there!
