Story
Utah's First Death from Mushroom-Induced Liver Failure Linked to Amatoxins in Psychedelic Mushrooms
Dec 21, 2024, 07:00 PM
A person in Utah has died after ingesting what they believed to be psychedelic mushrooms, marking the first confirmed case of mushroom-induced liver failure in the state. The Utah Poison Control Center reported that the individual developed severe nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, followed by liver failure, acidosis, and hypotension, leading to death approximately 36 hours after consumption. The mushrooms were purchased on the street and thought to be hallucinogenic, but they contained amatoxins, a toxic substance not typically found in psychedelic mushrooms. Public health authorities are investigating the case to determine the source of the poisonous mushrooms and to prevent future incidents.
