Cases of Mushroom Poisoning Continue to Be Reported in the Country

Cases of mushroom poisoning continue to be reported in the country. This was reported by the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, which again urges caution.

"To avoid mushroom poisoning and subsequent complications, the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the Ministry of Health cautions once again: do not consume mushrooms of unknown origin, do not collect mushrooms from roadside areas, do not rely solely on pictures to differentiate between edible and poisonous mushrooms, as poisonous mushrooms often grow near edible ones and can look very similar. Do not feed mushrooms to children, and individuals with gastrointestinal issues are advised not to consume mushrooms. Additionally, do not consume alcohol with mushrooms, as it activates several toxic substances, and avoid self-medication."
