Delirium Tremens

Just googled and found this
Example sentence:

Delirium tremens (the DTs) is a severe reaction to withdrawal from alcohol. Delirium tremens can be deadly.

Peer comment(s):

agree Ron Willems : in deze zin zou ik dan wel zeggen: "... dan heb ik een delirium". Niemand zegt 'tremens' erbij als ze zojuist een spook hebben gezien...

Delirium Tremens

Indeed Delirium Tremens and everythings that's been said about it, so maybe in this context, a suitable translation of the phrase would be:

Well, if there isn't ....dan ben ik aan het hallucineren... But I tell you there's a man down there.
Peer comment(s):

agree sindy cremer : hallucineren - mooi in dit verband!
