The symptom of mushroom poisoning can occur immediately after consuming low-quality or poisonous foods, and can make itself felt only after a few hours. It is worth noting that such fungi growing in our latitudes include the following species:
- Amanita is smelly ;
- toadstool is pale;
- fly agaric white spring.
The symptom of mushroom poisoning of the species presented may include various signs of malaise. Their severity depends entirely on exactly how much you ate the product, as well as other important factors. For example, older people and young children are poisoned with fly agaric or pale toadstools more severely than adults with a normal immune system. Quite often, an accidentally eaten poisonous mushroom is fatal. But this is only if the victim was not given first aid.
By the way, the symptom of mushroom poisoning manifests itself in people not only because of the use of poisonous, but also because of conditionally edible products. Typically, this is due to the fact that they were improperly prepared. Also, poisoning can occur due to completely edible fungi that grew in ecologically unfavorable areas.
So what are the symptoms of mushroom poisoning appear first, and which subsequently?
Primary symptoms:
- vomiting
- loose and frequent stools ;
- constant thirst;
- leg cramps;
- cramping abdominal pain;
- weakness throughout the body;
- dizziness;
- severe headaches.
All of the above symptoms of poisoning are similar for almost all types of mushrooms. However, some poisonous products have their own distinctive features, which are quite difficult to confuse with others. For example, a symptom of poisoning with mushrooms (pale toadstool) manifests itself in the form of a protruding cold sweat. If you eat a spring fly agaric, then after a while a person has an excited state, which is very similar to alcohol intoxication. After using a red mushroom, the victim will soon experience hallucinations and suffocation. As you can see, the symptoms of poisoning by certain mushrooms are quite specific, but these are only the primary symptoms.
Secondary symptoms
Experts attribute their complete absence to secondary
signs of mushroom
poisoning . In other words, after a while a person creates an imaginary well-being. But during this period, further poisoning of the digestive tract, damage to the central nervous system, as well as the heart and blood vessels continue to occur in the body. However, this applies only to those cases when the victim consumed poisonous species of mushrooms.
Symptoms after eating conditionally edible mushrooms
There are such types of fungi that can be consumed without any concern, but only after proper heat treatment. If they were not prepared properly, then the person is also poisoned. But in such a situation, a fatal outcome is completely ruled out. Moreover, in some cases, a person does not even feel any discomfort. For example, the symptoms of mushroom poisoning with chanterelles are almost completely absent. But still, some people feel some upset stomach. Therefore, one should not risk one's own health, but it is better to properly process conditionally edible products.
