Italian hospitalized for hallucinations after Internet spree
ROME, March 2 (AFP) - An Italian who had spent the greater part of three days in front of a computer screen surfing the Internet has been hospitalized with hallucinations, la Repubblica reported Tuesday.
The man, suffering from delirium and mental confusion, was being treated for "acute Internet intoxication," the newspaper said. It gave no further details.

Rome psychiatrist Tonino Cantelmi said he believed several hundred people had overdosed on the Net in the Italian capital alone.

Most were aged around 30, single, educated and had never had any mental problems until they started spending more than 10 hours a day -- between the office and home -- on the computer, Cantelmi said.

Anything over 5-6 hours a day on the Internet could constitute a danger to health, Cantelmi warned
