IntroductionColchicine poisoning is a life-threatening intoxication.Case ReportWe report a case of food poisosing with Colchicum autumnale by confusion with wild garlic. The clinical presentation is the same as that of colchicine drug intoxication. The evolution can be fatal in case of massive ingestion. The proximity of the place of growth and their similar appearance in spring make Colchicum and wild garlic plants that can easily be confused.ConclusionPhysicians have to be vigilant in case of dysenteric syndrome and biological disturbances in spring and look for the consumption of perennial plant preceding symptoms.Copyright © 2022 Société Nationale Française de Médecine Interne (SNFMI).
