<unk>  is the toxin that is present in the American mistletoe (Phoradendron leucarpum). Most cases that have led to toxicity of<unk>  are due to the accidental ingestion of mistletoe during the Christmas season and are related to accidental intake of berries by children. There is only limited data concerning accidental exposure to American Mistletoe. One study shows the symptoms of 1,754 exposures to mistletoe. There were no cases of major symptoms and only a small percentage had moderate symptoms. A few cases were present where the people had minor effects (symptoms that were minimally bothersome to the patient). The majority of the people who were exposed to the mistletoe had no symptoms. In all of the cases that were investigated in the study, there were no fatalities or had an outcome associated without morbidity. Another study shows out of 92 human cases exposed to American mistletoe, there were 14 symptomatic cases, from which 11 were related to the exposure of<unk> . The symptoms included six gastrointestinal upset cases, two mild drowsiness cases, one eye irritation case, one ataxia case (21 months) and one case of seizure (13 months). The amount of ingested mistletoe ranged from one berry or leaf to more than 20 berries or 5 leaves. American mistletoe has also been associated with nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and diarrhea, but the development of these symptoms is very rare. Even though there is limited data present, the American mistletoe is not as toxic as most people think. The majority of the patients did not receive any symptoms.
