Which of the following is NOT a RED DANES symptom of PCP intoxication?

Explanation:
Red Danes captures a characteristic PCP intoxication pattern that reflects dissociative effects with autonomic arousal. Rage reflects the aggressive, combative behavior PCP can provoke. Erythema describes flushed or reddened skin from sympathetic activation. Dilated pupils show sympathetic stimulation. Nystagmus, especially vertical nystagmus, is a hallmark eye sign. Anxiety is common amid agitation and psychosis. Tremors do not fit this mnemonic, so they aren’t part of the RED DANES pattern, even though PCP can cause various motor effects.
