Touching Deadly Mushrooms
    #5535191 - 04/19/06 08:06 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

If you touch a deadly/poisonous mushroom, do any of the toxins diffuse through your skin and into your system? I think I've touched a lot of deadly mushrooms without any noticeable effects but is doing so bad

Worried about an accumulative effect aye? I know of several old time mushroom hunters who have all handled the most toxic mushrooms around and they are still all going strong? the liver transplants only slowed them down for a season or two? j/k.
You should consider washing your hands after handling mushrooms? basic hygiene will likely be enough of a safeguard. I wouldn?t worry about it too much.

No. No need to worry. You have to consume a gram or more of deadly mushrooms' flesh to even come close to being poisoned.

Gumby, I would like to know what the picture of the miget-legged today with an attached mouth is on your avatar? He looks rather happy as if I could feed him some carrots and he'd smile.

It's nice that I shouldn't worry about it; it would be better if an expert could comment on it though. I don't care if I don't die but I am interested in wether or not any toxins make it through your skin seeing as acid can kill your ego if you dump your hand in a bucket of crystal.

If this could happen I would have probably been dead a long time ago. I can remember touching everything from deadly amanitas to galerinas, poisonous inocybes, cortinarius, entolomas, etc.
I've never gotten the slightest but sick or ever had any problems.

Toxins could probably make it through your mucuous membranes, not uninjured skin.

Erowid has a feature where the molecular structures of various psychoactive chemicals can be viewed three-dimensionally. It sure would be neat if something could be done for the poisonous compounds present in fungi in a similar vain. With LSD, as I?m sure you are aware, doses are measured in micrograms. The required dose for toxic mushroom compounds are higher. One would need to take into consideration the chemical structure of the molecules in question. For instance the psychoactive dimethlytryptamine is not readily absorbed through he skin despite sharing the similar tryptamine structure of LSD.

It's like any irritant but worse. If you wash your hands before you rub your eyes, lick your fingers (smoke a cigarette maybe?), eat a sandwich, scratch your nads and let your girl go down on you everything will be fine.
