Can any mushrooms make you sick just from touching them?
    #23793578 - 11/02/16 01:52 AM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Long story short my mom was in the woods earlier doing some hunting, she found some chantrelles but also apparently handled a bunch of random stuff.

Stuff including some poisonous amanitas possibly. She didn't eat any of the mushrooms but never washed her hands and proceed to eat dinner later.

Now 5~ or so hours later she is feeling stomach sick as in vomit/ diarrhea. She ate burgers out at some restaurant but apparently shared the food with her partner.

Her boyfriend is not sick so she thinks it couldn't be food poisoning. From what I have read even the most deadly mushrooms have to be ingested right?

So what does that leave, some sort of bacterial thing? I just want to know if I should be worrying or not, if its just a stomach thing then it should pass.

I made her some ginger tea which is all I could think to do. So does she need to go to the ER or is it most likely not related to the mushrooms?

Thanks a ton in advance and let me know if any more details would help.

You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by

I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me

I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

You can not get poisoned by touching alone. With that being said, it is always best to wash your hands after handing any unidentified mushrooms and before you eat.
I think her stomach is just hurting and she's over thinking it. Just be a good song and look after her.

"Because so little was known about mushrooms, many misconceptions concerning the edibility of mushrooms have developed. Some of the more common ones are briefly discussed below:

You can be poisoned by touching a poisonous mushroom. As deadly as some toxins may be, touching the mushroom is harmless. The harmful toxins in mushrooms must be consumed in order to harm you."

Your momma gonna be fine. Just a coincidence.

That is pretty much what I assumed I just thought I should get a second opinion to be safe.

So what then, food poisoning? Some kind of allergy/ bad reaction to the meal? Bacteria? I believe she is resting now so the ginger must have helped.

Could be bacteria in the burger. Red meat affects people differently too.
Or maybe she caught a bug a few days ago and the effects are starting.
I've done extensive research on the "touching a poisonous mushroom then eating something" subject, and I've never found any such claims. Even with the destroying angel and death caps, a good portion of the mushroom must be consumed to severely hurt/kill you.
In the morning, you can tell your mom that she was supposed to teach you to wash your hands before eating, not the other way around  :wink:
