Toxic Mushroom Discovered and Successfully Removed by Medical Professionals
Man Hospitalized After Consuming Toxic Caesar Mushrooms in Nakhodka
A man in Nakhodka, Russia, has been hospitalized after consuming toxic Caesar mushrooms, according to a report by PrimaMedia, citing the official 18+ Telegram channel of Nakhodka City Hospital.
The incident occurred when the man prepared the mushrooms himself for lunch. Unfortunately, the mushrooms consumed were fried Caesar mushrooms, also known as "royal" or "Caesar" mushrooms, which can easily be confused with deadly species like the death cap.
Upon consumption, the man exhibited severe symptoms of intoxication, including weakness, dizziness, and muscle pain. He was quickly rushed to the Nakhodka City Hospital, where he received immediate medical attention.
Specialists warned that even edible mushrooms can be dangerous if misidentified. In this case, the patient was hospitalized for eight days as doctors provided comprehensive therapy to remove toxins from his body.
Thankfully, the patient's life is no longer in danger, but he must closely monitor his health for the next six months. After receiving treatment, he was discharged from the hospital.
This incident is a reminder of the risks associated with collecting and consuming wild mushrooms, especially in the "egg" stage, which is particularly risky for Caesar mushrooms. It's crucial to seek the advice of a mycology expert before consuming any wild mushrooms to avoid such poisonings.
This poisoning affected a group of individuals who consumed self-prepared Caesar mushrooms at a lunch in Nakhodka. While the incident serves as a warning, it also underscores the importance of proper identification and caution when foraging for and consuming wild mushrooms.
