So if after eating you feel uncomfortable, quickly call his companions. This will help including to determine whether to blame it is the mushrooms. And as early as possible to start the detoxification procedure.
HOW TO DISTINGUISH POISONING
Mushrooms are a heavy food, they long to digest. If there are problems with digestion, even without poisoning, they can cause discomfort. In this case, is usually heartburn, heaviness in the stomach, which appear immediately after eating.
– In cases of poisoning by mushrooms – very different symptoms – emphasizes expert on emergency care, doctor Michael Konevsky. The main characteristics of such poisoning: repeated diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, high temperature. And after eating fly agaric and false honey agarics can occur even hallucinations with delirium.
Experiencing these symptoms after an average of 6 – 7 hours after ate the mushrooms, but sometimes before. It all depends on how fast toxins. Plus an individual reaction.
THE MAIN THING – TO WASH OUT THE STOMACH
– The most important rule for mushroom poisoning, as with any other poisoning, immediately wash the stomach, ” says Dr. Konevsky. – For this you need to drink 1.5 – 2 liters of normal drinking water. And not a little bit, and not in small SIPS. Is no effect will not give. It is important to swallow the water in one gulp literally, within 2 – 3 minutes. Then go to the toilet. Two fingers tap on the root of the tongue, the other hand gently press down on the stomach to induce vomiting.
Repeat this manipulation should be 3 to 4 times. After the stomach is washed, take the activated coal from calculation 1 tablet on 10 kg of weight. For example, if your weight is 80 kg, then again we will need to take 8 tablets.
Important: activated charcoal tablets you need to swallow with water, and crush them, dissolve in a glass of water and drink it.
And quickly call an Ambulance!
By the WAY
If you ate mushrooms, and then suddenly doubted their edibility, it is better not to wait for the onset of symptoms, and to wash out the stomach immediately to reduce the toxicity of the body, says Michael Konevsky.
THE QUESTION IN THE SUBJECT
Is it possible to dispense with the Ambulance?
– In mushroom poisoning themselves with the intoxication of the organism to handle, – says the expert. – No matter how much water you drink, some toxins in the blood will remain. The hospital also put on a drip, which will lead from the body the remaining stuff.
If the intoxication does not stop in time, it affects the liver, kidneys. In addition, when the poisoning is dehydration. Due to the lack of fluid, the blood thickens and clots. And it is a direct risk of stroke or heart attack.
Note: the process of intoxication is very fast. If you do not start timely treatment, is essentially poisoned by toxins is the entire body. So to die after eating mushrooms, it is quite possible.

The five most common mistakes in mushroom poisoning
1) a highly concentrated solution of potassium permanganate to lavage of the stomach: when, instead of the pale pink is a very rich color drink. In the end, the burn of the gastric mucosa. So as not to harm even more, it is better to wash out the stomach with plain water.
2) Attempt to “fix” the intestine, to quickly get rid of diarrhea. The process of intoxication continues to evolve. At that time, as required, on the contrary, to allow the toxins to leave the body.
3) knocking down the temperature if it is not the “rolls” above 38.5 – 39 degrees. It’s pointless, the intake of antipyretics – complacency, but not the solution.
4) Receiving all sorts of “stomach” medications. Perhaps some of them will even relieve the pain, stomach cramps, but they do not eliminate the source of pain. But can smear the overall picture of health when it might seem – wrongly – that the case was on the mend. From poisoning these drugs do not save.
5) Hiding from the doctor that the man was eating mushrooms. Remember: for doctors the source of toxicity is significant! Poisoning simply by poor nutrition occurs, as a rule, easier than the mushrooms. And if people ate more canned mushrooms, it immediately raises the suspicion of botulism. Silent about what you eat, you reduce your chances of a quick recovery.
