The Yunnan Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention once warned that accidentally eating or picking poisonous wild mushrooms can endanger health at best and cause death at worst.
The reason why poisonous wild mushrooms can cause poisoning is that they contain toxic substances (toxins). If you accidentally eat poisonous wild mushrooms, these toxins will enter the blood system through the human digestive system, and then damage the liver, kidneys and other organs.
If you feel dizzy, nauseous, vomiting, diarrhea, irritability, hallucinations, or other discomfort within a few minutes to three days (72 hours) after eating wild mushrooms, you should highly suspect that you have been poisoned by wild mushrooms. Do not be careless or take chances. You should immediately take the following measures:
Call 120 for emergency treatment immediately and go to the hospital for treatment in time. Tell the doctor the type, time, place and people you ate wild mushrooms with; drink a lot of warm water or diluted salt water, and then use chopsticks, fingers, spoons and other hard objects to stimulate the throat to help vomit, so as to reduce the absorption of toxins, reduce the degree of poisoning and prevent the condition from getting worse; provide food samples or biological samples to professional institutions for testing and reference for medical treatment.
