My dad always told me that Paul was on drugs
Ergot poisoning was fairly common in those days. Ergot, Claviceps purpurea, is a fungus that infects rye, and sometimes wheat, barley, and triticale. It contains the alkaloid ergotamine, which can be processed to form lysergic acid diethylamide, better known as LSD.

Side effects of ergot poisoning include hallucinations, irrational behavior, convulsions, and unconsciousness. It can also cause vasoconstriction, which can lead to gangrene and a burning sensation in the limbs (St. Anthony's fire).
