PCP intoxication has a distinctive set of signs captured by the RED DANES mnemonic. The symptoms highlighted include aggression or rage, memory disturbances such as amnesia, and eye movement abnormalities like nystagmus. These elements form the core cluster described by the Red Danes framework for PCP effects. Fever, on the other hand, is not a defining part of this RED DANES pattern. While severe agitated states can raise body temperature, fever isn’t a characteristic feature used to identify PCP in this mnemonic, and it points you away from PCP when considering the hallmark picture described by Red Danes.
