AbstractNew toxins are constantly emerging within society. We review common toxins that cause seizure, their mechanisms, associated toxidromes, and treatments. Stimulants, cholinergic agents, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) antagonists, glutamate agonists, histamine and adenosine antagonists, and withdrawal states are highlighted. Understanding current mechanisms for common toxin-induced seizures can promote understanding of future toxins and predicting if seizure may occur as a result of toxicity.Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
