A 39-year-old man died from mushroom poisoning in Krasnapollye. Toxins found in several species of deadly poisonous mushrooms were detected in his body, according to the Mahiliou Regional Directorate of the State Forensic Examination Committee.<\/p>\n

The man picked mushrooms in a forest himself and cooked them for lunch. By the evening, his condition had deteriorated sharply: he developed abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and general weakness.<\/p>\n

An ambulance took the man to the central district hospital. He was later transferred to Mahiliou Clinical Hospital, but doctors were unable to save him. He died seven days after eating the mushrooms.<\/p>\n

To determine the exact cause of death, specialists conducted a forensic medical examination and reviewed medical records and test results from the National Anti-Doping Laboratory.<\/p>\n

Alpha-amanitin and beta-amanitin were detected in biological samples from the deceased. These are extremely dangerous toxins found in death caps and destroying angels, funeral bells and some species of Lepiota, small parasol mushrooms.<\/p>\n

Taking into account the clinical symptoms, test results, changes in the internal organs and the circumstances of the case, experts concluded that the man died from acute oral poisoning complicated by multiple organ failure syndrome.<\/p>\n

The State Forensic Examination Committee warned that mushroom poisoning poses a serious danger. According to the agency, 80\u201390% of cases involving the consumption of death caps are fatal. Poisoning can also be caused by edible mushrooms that are no longer fresh.<\/p>\n

Medical attention should be sought immediately if the first symptoms of poisoning appear. Such poisoning cannot be treated without medical assistance.<\/p>\n

Specialists recommend picking only mushrooms that are well known, checking mushrooms brought home by relatives, and discarding overripe, worm-infested or spoiled specimens. Picked mushrooms should be processed within 24 hours, and only young mushrooms should be used for preserving.<\/p>\n

Before cooking, mushrooms should be thoroughly cleaned and washed. Pickled mushrooms from jars with bulging lids should not be consumed. Mushrooms should be stored in a cool place.<\/p>\n
