What symptom is NOT associated with anticholinergic toxicity?

Anticholinergic toxicity results from excessive blockade of acetylcholine receptors, leading to a characteristic set of symptoms often referred to as "dry as a bone," "red as a beet," "blind as a bat," "mad as a hatter," and "hot as a hare." This toxicity typically results in decreased secretions, increased heart rate, dilated pupils (mydriasis), flushed skin, and altered mental status.

Increased sweating is not associated with anticholinergic toxicity. In fact, one of the hallmark manifestations of this condition is the inhibition of sweat production due to anticholinergic effects on the secretion of glands controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Consequently, individuals experiencing anticholinergic toxicity often present with dry skin and lack of perspiration.

The other symptoms—dry mouth, mydriasis, and a flushed face—are direct consequences of the anticholinergic effect. Dry mouth results from reduced saliva production, mydriasis is caused by the dilation of the pupils due to autonomic blockade, and a flushed face occurs due to peripheral vasodilation in response to the disrupted autonomic control. Hence, increased sweating stands out as the symptom that diverges from this pattern of antich
