Weed accidentally harvested with spinach causes almost 200 people to hallucinate.

A plant that led almost 200 spinach eaters to suffer delirium and hallucinations after finding its way into their shopping bags has been identified in Australia.

Thornapple, also known as jimsonweed, was accidentally harvested and packed alongside baby spinach from a producer in New South Wales.

The incident has raised concerns about an increase in the amount of weeds affecting Australian crops after months of flooding and rain across the country.
