B.C. health officials issue warning after child eats toxic death cap mushroom
    #28397066 - 07/16/23 12:25 AM (9 months, 29 days ago)

BC coastal health has staff mycologist? Which one of you is it? V/D

Death cap mushrooms are the most toxic mushrooms found in B.C.


Amanita phalloides, more commonly known as the death cap mushroom, has toxins that can cause liver and kidney damage and possibly death.

A young child in the Vancouver Coastal Health region was taken to hospital after eating part of a poisonous death cap mushroom, the B.C. Centre for Disease Control says.

Article content
The child ate part of the toxic mushroom in Vancouver’s Kits Point neighbourhood, said Raymond Li, a pharmacist with the B.C. Drug and Poison Information Centre.

The child was taken to hospital and received treatment to stop the toxins from the mushrooms from being absorbed into the system.

“Thankfully, due to the parents’ vigilance and quick identification by our mycologist, the child did not suffer any ill effects,” said Li.

The incident prompted B.C. health authorities to warn people to be on the lookout for death cap mushrooms, which can cause liver damage and possibly death.

Death cap mushrooms  — the most toxic mushroom in B.C. — have been reported in the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley and on Vancouver Island, most recently at a park in Comox.
They are not native to B.C. and are typically found in urban environments on the roots of residential street trees such as English and red oaks, sweet chestnut, hornbeam, European beech, hazelnut and linden trees.

In this latest poisoning, the mushroom was found on private property. But the location is “neither here nor there,” said Li, because the mushrooms are commonly found on boulevard trees that can have long root systems that extend up to 20 feet away and cross property lines.

Kits Point is not a “hotspot” for the mushrooms, he said. The BCCDC’s death cap mushroom map shows most reported sightings are on the east side. There has been no reported sighting in Kits Point.

“It’s very unusual for them to grow this early in the year,” said Li, noting that the mushrooms usually sprout in the wetter, fall months, but can pop up in the summer in areas that are watered or irrigated.

Article content
Symptoms of death cap poisoning include cramping, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea within six to 12 hours of consumption. People may feel better after a day, but the toxins continue to damage the kidney and liver, leading to a second wave of diarrhea and cramping within 72 hours after eating the mushroom.

The second wave could lead to severe illness and organ failure, said health authorities. Medical treatment and organ transplants may be required to prevent death.

Because death cap mushrooms can be easily mistaken for edible mushrooms such as the paddy straw mushroom or edible puff balls, Li warns foragers not to eat any wild mushrooms they have not properly identified as being edible.

People who spot mushrooms growing in areas where children play should remove the mushrooms and dispose of them in the garbage, he said.

Death cap mushroom sightings can be reported to the B.C. government’s Invasive Species Working Group.

If you suspect you or someone you know may have eaten a poisonous mushroom, call poison control at 1-800-567-8911.

To my eye, the mature ones have a greenish-yellow tint.

Darwin effect wins out again for the parents of that kid.  For penance, go forth and die.  We all do at some point or another.:cookiemonster:

Bye the way what the kid ate is legal.  Is on them.  At that age, not a guilt trip person but really, know your surroundings and at that age, watch your fucking kid.

Mushrooms that teach one to learn and grow, illegal.  One's that kill even this newborn child to the shroom GOD'S, wait, reading media. 

If they have a conscience and gave a shit about their kid learn.  God at least he had two parents who were to busy to watch over him.  Tell Jesus about it.:loljesus:

Go forth and die.  In a better place.  Like Carlin I call BULLSHIT.  And now a song for the future of life on earth.



Fuck the woke and idiots.  Things are going to get a whole lot worse then better in this world and that is even in third world countries!  Will be interesting in how much humanity fucks itself over.  God bless one idiotic family and their kid.  Do you know how many die each day? 

News will change for a larger portion of the earth.  And yeah, don't be a shitty parent.  BUT THEIR GRIEF!

People will get a whole new experience of that in times to come. 

Earth shaken twice, third time, Great Spirit not interfere.  Natives.  With Russia, China, and Tawain let us morn this one innocent child.  It is always taking the eye off the ball.  The larger picture and history and what is to come.:shrug:

Time to go out in the 100 plus weather.
