BackgroundConsumption of kratom (Mitragyna speciosa), an herbal substance, can result in adverse health effects. We characterized kratom-associated adverse events in Wisconsin to provide pertinent recommendations for clinicians and public health practitioners. MethodsUsing Wisconsin Poison Center (WPC) data, we searched for and summarized all records associated with exposure to "kratom", "electronic delivery device containing kratom", or "mitragyna" during January 1, 2010-September 1, 2022. ResultsKratom-associated exposure calls to WPC increased 3.75 times during 2016-2020. Among all 59 calls, 26 (44.1%) reported concomitant use of another substance, agitation was the most common symptom reported (23, 39%), and 7 persons required critical care. Three unintentional ingestions were reported in infants aged <2 years. DiscussionKratom-associated exposure calls to WPC have been generally increasing in frequency since 2011. Wisconsinites who choose to use kratom might benefit from education regarding health risks and safe storage practices to avoid unintentional pediatric exposure.
