A 46-year-old man experienced a brief loss of consciousness and visual hallucinations after taking three tablets of the hallucinogenic tryptamine derivative 5-MeO-DALT, purchased online. Laboratory analysis quantified 32.5 mg of the drug per tablet (11% purity) and 7 ng/mL in the patient's plasma 8 hours after consumption. Poisonings from 5-MeO-DALT are rarely reported, but the broad availability of such products means emergency physicians and clinical toxicologists should consider recreational tryptamine ingestion, especially because most routine toxicological screenings do not detect them.
