Poisoning the most poisonous mushroom species comes more slowly, it can manifest itself after 24 hours. Rescuers warn that symptoms can be different, even life -threatening. The most important thing is not to underestimate the weak symptoms. TASR informed the specialist of the internal communication of the emergency medical service Zamed Alexandra Gáll.
“Symptoms of poisoning for the most dangerous fungi such as a toadstool, a toadstool white or fiber They show six to 24 hours after consumption. The late onset of symptoms is a warning feature of a serious and life -threatening poisoning, ”warned the chief rescuer Zamed Diana Mikešová.
She explained that the typical symptoms of fungal poisoning are Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, often watery to bloody. Poisoning is also associated with Sweating, lacrimation, tapered pupils and slow pulse. Neurological difficulties such as Dizziness, hallucinations, visual disorders or convulsions. “If symptoms occur within 24 hours of fungal consumption, the patient must be examined in the hospital,” the rescuer said.
A much more serious phase may occur in severe poisoning, for example, toadstools, after an initial improvement. “Liver damage and kidneys that manifest itself in jaundice, bleeding and organ failure may occur, ” She added Mikešová and stressed that the ambulance should be called immediately if fungi are suspected. It is necessary to arrive in her arrival Keep the affected person in a hydrated state – by administering a small amount of water or unsweetened tea. “If the patient vomits, it is necessary to preserve the food remnants and even the vomit itself, as they will help in the subsequent determination of the type of poisonous mushroom,” she explained.
She specified that if the fungi are suspected It must never be administered to the affected person alcohol or milk that accelerates the absorption of toxins and may be more harmful to the body. “Do not even believe that after heat treatment or freezing, the poison from the fungi will disappear. Green and white toadstools are extremely stable, boiling resistant, drying and freezing. For other types of poisonous fungi, toxins may be partially distributed or changed by warmth, but they can still cause serious poisoning, ”warns the expert.
Rescuers recall that Only those mushrooms that one knows well can be gathered. Inexperienced mushroom pickers can mistake the tasty loin tall with poisonous bumbers, or a dangerous toadstool green with edible mushrooms such as the baking tray and grass -green flood. “Do not collect young, steamy or too old mushrooms. Do not be fooled by folk advice, for example, that the poisonous fungus turns out after contact with silver – it’s not so,” Mikešová closed.
