Three adults were rushed to the hospital over the weekend after consuming toxic wild mushrooms<\/a> in Napa County, California, prompting health officials to renew urgent warnings this week about a fatal statewide outbreak.<\/p>\n

Two lethal mushroom species, the death cap (Amanita phalloides<\/i>) and western destroying angel (Amanita ocreata<\/i>), have poisoned at least 47 people and claimed four lives since mid-November, according to the California<\/a> Department of Public Health.<\/p>\n

A dozen California counties have been impacted, with the most recent outbreak fueled by wet weather<\/a>.<\/p>\n

CALIFORNIA HEALTH OFFICIALS ISSUE URGENT WARNING TO MUSHROOM FORAGERS AFTER DEADLY POISONING OUTBREAK<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Poisonous mushrooms can look and taste similar to safe mushrooms<\/a>, and even experienced mushroom hunters have been affected by this outbreak,” Napa County Public Health Officer Christine Wu wrote in a statement. “State health officials also caution that newly arrived residents might fatally mistake these toxic California fungi for safe varieties they are accustomed to foraging in their home countries.”<\/p>\n

The public health department stressed that cooking, boiling, freezing or drying toxic mushrooms will not make them safe to eat.<\/p>\n

Symptoms often do not appear until 6 to 24 hours after ingestion. Early warning signs include severe stomach pain, cramping, vomiting, diarrhea, confusion and a drop in blood pressure.<\/p>\n

Even if initial symptoms seem to fade within a day, victims can still develop fatal liver or kidney damage<\/a>, or suffer from seizures within two to three days.<\/p>\n

Residents are asked to avoid eating wild mushrooms under any circumstances, watch children closely while they are outside, keep pets<\/a> away from wild mushrooms and only purchase mushrooms from trusted grocery stores and retailers.<\/p>\n

Those who believe they may have eaten a poisonous wild mushroom<\/a> should seek emergency medical care immediately and call the California Poison Control Hotline at 1-800-222-1222.<\/p>\n

Officials said victims should also place any uneaten portions of the mushroom in a paper bag or waxed paper and refrigerate it, or take photos of the cap, stem and underside to help medical experts identify the toxin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
