Mushroom poisoning can lead to very serious health consequences, even death. There are several myths about mushroom poisoning, or rather poisonous ones:
- Poisonous mushrooms smell - not true, it does not depend on whether the mushroom is poisonous or not.
- If the mushrooms are young, there is nothing to fear, because they are not poisonous - poisonous mushrooms are both young and grown, so be careful.
- if we have poisonous mushrooms, we can boil them several times and change the water, this will make them edible - there is no option to eat a poisonous mushroom and there are no side effects, so this is also not true at all.
Poisonous mushrooms can damage the liver, and it is even possible for the poisoned to develop liver failure. To prevent mushroom poisoning, it is best not to pick them if we do not know them or to buy from a random seller.
If it still happened, we can apply first aid and help. The first and most important thing to do is call an ambulance. Such poisoning puts our lives at risk and therefore we should not delay or try to deal with the situation on our own.
The hospital will do a gastric lavage, after which we take various medicines for the liver, vitamins, detoxifiers. There is also a strict diet that must be strictly followed and which is done to calm and restore the liver completely.
While waiting for the ambulance, you can help by trying to get the person to vomit what has been swallowed, in order to stop further poisoning of the body, and then to give him activated charcoal.
In case the victim has lost consciousness but is breathing, be sure to move him to one side. If the person is conscious, provide him with fresh and clean air. These are tips on how to react while waiting for the ambulance.
In no case do not self-medicate and seek medical help immediately.
