Type: This type of patient presents with weakness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and watery diarrhea 10 minutes to 2 hours after eating mushrooms. Recovery is rapid and the prognosis is good. There are many mushrooms that produce such symptoms, such as red mushrooms.

Milk mushroom, porcini mushroom, orange-red poison umbrella, poisonous light cover umbrella, moonshine mushroom, wax umbrella, ring handle mushroom, etc. Neuropsychiatric type: 10 minutes to 6 hours after eating, in addition to gastroenteritis symptoms, there are miosis, increased saliva, excitement, hallucinations, and staggering gait.

Hemolytic type: incubation period 6 to 12 hours, in addition to gastroenteritis manifestations, there are hemolytic manifestations, anemia may appear.

hepatomegaly, etc. This type of poisoning is treated with adrenocorticosteroids.

and blood transfusion** more than possible**. Hepatic type: gastroenteritis type manifestations appear 10 to 30 hours after eating.

Some patients may have a false recovery period, and then appear to have damage to multiple organs such as liver, brain, heart, kidney, etc., but liver damage is the most serious. Some patients may have psychiatric symptoms. The general course of the disease is 2-3 weeks.

Emergency treatment: Because the incubation period of mushroom poisoning is long, and the symptoms of some mushroom poisoning deteriorate rapidly once they appear, it is necessary to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time after eating suspected poisonous mushrooms.

Those who have symptoms should go to the hospital as soon as possible.

In the selection of mushrooms, do not use colorful wild mushrooms and unseen mushrooms. Also, it's best not to buy wild mushrooms that are picked during the drought season.

It is distributed in many countries around the world, and in many foreign countries, hallucinogenic mushrooms can be sold publicly, and hallucinations caused by poisoning by eating poisonous mushrooms, such as porcini mushrooms. Different types of mushrooms have different toxin compositions.

Mushrooms that usually contain alkaloid toxins are dried and watered, and most of the toxins will be removed, because most of the alkaloid toxins are soluble in water, and rinsing after boiling can also be good for detoxification.

Rural soil is fertile, often in front of the house or under the dead trees, grass found some colorful mushrooms, there are many other kinds of mushrooms are highly poisonous, morel mushrooms because of their appearance like sheep's belly easy to identify, mostly grow in secondary forests. There is also a kind of chicken leg mushroom which is characterized by a thick stalk, a large umbrella, each flower has two to three weights, and it mostly grows in the decaying wooden stump and humus soil between the secondary forests of oak trees.

To compensate for dehydration caused by repeated vomiting, it is best to have the patient drink "sugar saline" with a small amount of salt and sugar to replace the loss of body fluids and prevent shock.

3. Do not forcibly pour water into the mouth of the patient who has developed a coma to prevent suffocation. Cover the patient with a blanket to keep warm.

3. How to choose mushrooms correctly

1. Look at maturity. Do not buy mushrooms that are particularly ripe and of poor quality. Seven or eight ripe is the best.

2. Look at the color. Good mushroom caps are white or gray in color, and the mushroom stems are white. If the mushroom is yellow, it is not good, and the reason for the yellowing is that the mushroom is old, sprayed with water or contaminated by miscellaneous mushrooms in spring.

Mild poisoning includes nausea and vomiting, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, a short history of present illness, rapid improvement after subsidence, and a good prognosis.

More serious poisoning will cause a lot of water and electrolyte solution outflow due to more severe vomiting and diarrhea, blood night extract, and even cardiac arrest, syncope, oliguria, anuria and other chronic renal failure symptoms, and may leave more serious complications, such as nephrotic syndrome, intellectual disability, and even death.

Three days later, he developed acute liver failure and was on the verge of death.

Recently, a man in Chengdu found 6 white mushrooms in the mountain behind his house and took them all home to fry and eat. The man began to vomit violently and had diarrhea that night, and his liver function deteriorated rapidly after the third day of poisoning. After a poison test, the man ate the deadly Amanita phalloides, but fortunately the rescue was timely, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!

The Sichuan Basin is particularly suitable for the growth of mushrooms, and the people of Sichuan have long had the custom of eating wild mushrooms, and people can identify at a glance whether the mushrooms are poisonous or not? But why did a man in Chengdu eat poisonous mushrooms by mistake this time? Just because it was found for the first time in Sichuan, it was eaten by mistake, this deadly mushroom is called a death cap, a white poison umbrella, and also known as a deadly Amanita phalloides, how poisonous is this "white poison umbrella"?

How toxic is it?

How to identify the "white poison umbrella" is so toxic? The most significant feature of the "white poison umbrella" is the white umbelliferium, which is particularly similar to the goose egg fungus in the Sichuan Basin, which is divided into a fungus cap, a stipe and a fungus drag, with a fungus skirt in the middle, a fungus boot under the feet, and a fungus drag at the bottom. Be careful when picking, and don't eat it by mistake.

The rainy season has arrived, and the mushrooms have begun to grow again, friends who like to eat wild mushrooms need to pay attention, "white poison umbrella" and ordinary mushrooms do not seem to be much different from ordinary mushrooms, even people who often pick mushrooms are difficult to identify, and other people are even more difficult to distinguish. If you see mushrooms in the wild, don't eat them. Safety first, be sure to refuse to eat wild mushrooms!
