Atropine blocks parasympathetic stimulation to the heart, increasing the heart rate – they gave this when his heart rate dropped. I held in a laugh when Foreman told House they had already administered “three millimeters”.

They said he doesn’t respond to atropine. But isn’t atropine the treatment for digitalis intoxication? I’m a bit confused about this….

I laughed at the Cadbury poisoning comment. Antidote is give it time, don’t eat any more chocolate for a week and drink lots of water. After one week, limit chocolate to no more than 8 oz. per week.

House annoys me. I stopped watching the program.
Things don’t add up sometimes. Some of it was okay, but the character he plays got under my skin.

I’ve had Cadbury poisoning before. Required copius amounts of milk in order to ease the supreme dry mouth

I thought the hallucinations were caused by digitalis poisoning.

but yes! His wife was also taking drugs, but she stopped the use of marijuana while her husband didn’t. Because of this marijuana was grown in ground contaminated with cadmium, she got that anosmia.

I just saw this episode. Can anyone tell me why his wife would have been effected by the Cadmium? By all accounts she was not smoking the Marijuana so why would she have any symptoms?

Lupron is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH agonist). It suppresses sex hormone production if it is given continuously. However, when given in a pulsatile fashion, it stimulates sex hormone production.

What are the chances someone would pick particularly poor cadmium-poisoned soil to grow marijuana? Now, tobacco sequesters cadmium, but I couldn’t find any citations supporting a similar effect for marijuana. I love House, but I don’t think this was a particularly plausible episode.

Is there any cure for minor cadmium poisoning?
I think my friend might have gotten it.
He has felt… Different in the last month or so.
He has lost hair, felt tired, experiencing headaches, etc.

I told him it is possible that he had smoked cadmium-laced weed.
He does occasionally smoke marijuana
