Step-by-step explanation:
The most likely diagnosis for a patient who is experiencing progressive confusion and agitation after chewing some plant seeds, with symptoms including hallucinations of bugs crawling on the skin and visual disturbances, is LSD intoxication.
LSD, or lysergic acid diethylamide, is a powerful hallucinogenic drug that can induce severe sensory distortions and hallucinations. The symptoms described do not align with opioid overdose which typically presents with respiratory depression and decreased consciousness.
Nor with alcohol withdrawal which includes tremors and seizures, nor carbon monoxide poisoning which causes headache, dizziness, and nausea without the specific hallucinations. The symptoms described are consistent with the effects of LSD, including sensory distortions, altered perception, and increased thirst.
