“Pressed” Etizolam

Three boys, ages 6, 9, and 10 years old, presented to the emergency department (ED) with altered mental status after eating Pez candy. Their mother had left the boys under an aunt ’s supervision; at approximately 8:30 AM on the day of symptom onset. She returned home at 10:45 AM to find them ”drowsy and wobbly.” The aunt also had altered mental status, and she owned the candy-container.
