The Kingman Daily Miner published the story of the deaths of 2 or 3 girls who died after drinking a tea made from the Datura plant. They were students of the Kingman High School.

This was about 1989, in Kingman, Arizona.

I have read of a child 2 years old who died from eating the seeds.

It grows all over the Arizona desert, does not need water.

In the Yuma area, the tomato hornworm will eat the plant, till there is only coarse stems left.
