Argemone mexicana (Mexican poppy, Mexican prickly poppy, flowering thistle, cardo or cardosanto) is a species of poppy found in Mexico and now widely naturalized in many parts of the world.

The Mendocino Codex mentions it as a kind of waterproof oil extracted from a worm called "axe" and mixed with oil from the prickly poppy seed or Mexican sage seed and pigments, which resulted in a paint.

An argemone or prickly poppy is a plant used for decoration.

As a result, mustard can be adulterated by argemone seeds, rendering it poisonous.

Long-term follow-up studies are scanty so the long-term effects of argemone oil toxicity have not been documented.

Several lines of evidence have been shown to explain the mechanism of toxicity of argemone oil/alkaloid.

This argemone resin contains berberine and protopine.

Reports from India indicate that large quantities of mustard seed oil/mustard oil may be contaminated with the toxic argemone oil.

Kingsley later fictionalized this meeting as that of Argemone with Lancelot Smith in his first novel Yeast (1848).

In one infamous case, forty persons suffered dropsy and glaucoma after consuming groundnut oil adulterated with toxic argemone oil.

A. mexicana seeds contain 22-36% of a pale yellow non-edible oil, called argemone oil or katkar oil, which contains the toxic alkaloids sanguinarine and dihydrosanguinarine.

Sanguinarine and dihydrosanguinarine are two major toxic alkaloids of argemone oil, which cause widespread capillary dilatation, proliferation and increased capillary permeability.

Education and motivation of farmers to cultivate yellow-seeded mustard and to make them aware of the identity of Argemone plants which grow as weeds in mustard fields.

Apart from a South African study, where the epidemic occurred through contamination in wheat flour, all the epidemics occurred through the consumption of mustard oil contaminated with argemone oil.

Genus: Papaver, Argemone, Meconopsis, Sanguinária, Bocconia, Roemeria, Glaucium, Chelidonium, Hypecoum Ordo 10.

Some annuals have seeded themselves in the cracks in the paving; an annual geranium, geranium himalayense which has tiny blue flowers and the mexican poppy Argemone Mexicana appear most years.

The retention of sanguinarine in the GI tract, liver, lung, kidney, heart, and serum even after 96 hrs of exposure indicates these as the likely target sites of argemone oil toxicity.

When mustard oil is adulterated deliberately (as in most cases) or accidentally with argemone oil, proteinuria (specifically loss of albumin) occurs, with a resultant edema as would occur in nephrotic syndrome.

Adulteration of argemone seeds in light yellow colored mustard seeds (Brassica compestris) can easily be detected, but these seeds are rather difficult to visualize when mixed with dark coloured mustard seeds.

Selective cultivation of yellow-seeded mustard with which neither black-coloured Argemone seeds nor dark-brown Argemone oil mixes well so that adulteration can easily be detected even with the naked eye.

This advice follows a joint September 4 health hazard alert from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Health Canada about potential argemone oil contamination in mustard oil/mustard seed oil products used as foods.

Pulmonary Toxicity: The decrease in glycogen levels following argemone oil intoxication could be due to enhanced glycogenolysis leading to the formation of glucose-1-phosphate, which enters the glycoltic pathway resulting in accumulation of pyruvate in the blood of experimental animals and dropsy patients.

It is well established that increased pyruvate concentration in blood uncouples oxidative phosphorylation, and this may be responsible for thickening of interalveolar septa and disorganized alveolar spaces in lungs of argemone oil-fed rats and the breathlessness as has been observed in human victims.
