I'm assuming that you are asking about a theory that blames something the accusers ate on the affliction that lead them to accuse. If I've interpreted wrong, say so. There is a theory that the affliction that lead to the accusations was caused by ergot poisoning. Ergot is a fungus that grows on rye and is the original source of LSD. Conditions in Salem in 1691-92 suggest that ergot may have grown on the rye that the people of Salem consumed and the accusers were affected hallucinogenic nature, leading them to believe there were witches.
