"Seizure is one of the most severe symptoms a poisoned patient can experience, and children are particularly vulnerable," said Dr. Conner McDonald from the University of Virginia School of Medicine.
"Depending on variables such as where a seizure happens, how long it continues and the pre-existing health of the child, seizures can lead to long-term damage or even death," McDonald added.
His team attributed the "extremely worrying" rise in cases to easy access to diphenhydramine, tramadol, bupropion, and synthetic designer drugs.
"Legal and illegal drugs can be bought online and shipped around the world," McDonald explained.
