🍄 Toxic wild mushrooms linked to deadly poisoning outbreak

Health officials have confirmed one death and at least 20 illnesses after people consumed wild mushrooms containing amatoxins, the potent toxins found in death-cap species. Several patients developed severe liver damage, with some requiring intensive care as symptoms can be delayed for many hours.

Authorities warn that death-caps can closely resemble edible varieties and that cooking, drying or freezing does not neutralise amatoxins. A new public health advisory urges people to avoid foraging unless guided by trained experts. Clinicians stress that early treatment is vital, as deterioration can accelerate rapidly once organ injury begins.
