    Atropine is an anticholinergic agent that can activate the autonomous sympathetic nervous systems. The symptoms mnemonic would be hot as a hare (hyperthermia), blind as a bat (pupil mydriasis), dry as a bone (no sweat), red as a beet (vasodilatation), and mad as a hatter (delirium), stuffed as a pipe (urinary retention)

    But the one that life-threatening and needs to be anticipated would be arrhythmia (which can cause cardiac arrest) and seizure
