How atropine cause hyperthermia?
Atropine antagonises central muscarinic receptors (remember, the parasympathetic nervous system is made up of muscarinic and nicotinic receptors). This muscarinic receptor antagonising alters temperature regulation in the hypothalamus -- the mechanism how it works is unfortunately not understood. But is is known that it reduces blood flow to the skin, thus reducing the ability for the body to lose heat and increasing body temperature.
