As fall rolls around, we know what to
expect - bitter temperatures replace that warm summer breeze as rain season
starts. For many people it's quite an adventure to go on a mushroom-hunt but
they should take precautions to avoid bringing toxic mushrooms into their
kitchens.
During September, Poison Information Centers are busy taking
calls from people who get poisoned after cooking mushrooms and dozens of
callers end up hospitalized.
If you are a victim of mushroom poisoning, you might experience
abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea or you'll feel your heart racing that might
lead to fever. The symptoms usually occur within 6-24 hours after you've
consumed the mushroom. However, in 1 to 2 days liver damage could begin
to develop and you'll have to take a blood test to know for sure.

To prevent this potentially deadly result, stay away from
picking wild mushrooms unless you're an expert on the subject or there's
someone present with you who's able to identify the bad sort that can greatly
threaten your health. It must not be forgotten that freezing, cooking or drying
will not eliminate the toxins from the mushroom.
People must be aware that nothing out there is what it seems,
and an appearance of a wild mushroom, which they could consider is perfectly
safe for eating, can easily fool them.
