Taking into account these difficulties the presented results may be a starting point for a comprehensive characterization of the pigment composition of fly agarics. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] in such small amounts that it rarely contributes to significant clinical toxicity Because of the variety of toxins present in A muscaria and their different effects, ingestion of the mushroom often does not produce a clear and consistent toxidrome. [thepoisonreview.com]

• Gastric Lavage

  Also, they argue that the gastric lavage the patient received “probably” was responsible for the good outcome and quick recovery. There is absolutely nothing in the case description or in the medical literature that would back up this claim. [thepoisonreview.com]

  Gastric lavage should not be employed routinely, if ever, in the management of poisoned patients. In experimental studies, the amount of marker removed by gastric lavage was highly variable and diminished with time. [doi.org]

  The diagnosis of Amanita pantherina or Amanita muscaria poisoning is established by means of mycologic investigation of gastric lavage. The treatment is only symptomatic, and the prognosis is usually good. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  An advocate of amanita mascara who lives in Europe suggests that the nausea that accompanies the ingestion of the mushrooms is easy to counter with cannabis. Of course, this individual was living in a part of Europe where cannabis is not illegal. [streetdirectory.com]

  The symptoms of A. muscaria poisoning include nausea and vomiting, somnolence, dizziness, hallucinations, dysphoria, delirium, ataxia, myoclonic movements, and seizures. [acepnow.com]

• Vomiting

  Vomiting was rare. Seizures or myoclonic twitching occurred in 4/9 patients, but was controlled with standard anticonvulsant therapy. No other anticholinergic or cholinergic signs were prominent. Recovery was rapid and complete in all patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The vomiting itself feels – well – cleansing? The funny thing is I never vomit much on ayahuasca, but that is what it reminds me of most. I feel relieved. The fresh air brings me back to earth. [azarius.pt]

• Food Poisoning

  Poison. Hallucinogen. As food, fly agaric does need special handling. Apparently most people eat only the caps or the very young buttons. They must be boiled in a large volume of water for a period of time, and then you need to toss out that water. [honest-food.net]

• Tachycardia

  Other antycholinergic symptoms like tachycardia and increased blood pressure, mydriasis, dry and red skin were seen only in a few cases. Acute respiratory failure was the most dangerous symptom observed in the course of poisoning. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Physical examination revealed tachycardia (pulse 127/min) along with mitosis and warm, dry skin. He subsequently developed seizure activity and increased oropharyngeal and respiratory secretions. [thepoisonreview.com]

• Hypersalivation

  Manifestations of A muscaria poisoning include: weakness, altered mental status, dizziness, somnolence, coma, hypersalivation, and hallucinations. Onset is within 30-120 min of ingestion with symptoms typically lasting for 8-12 hours. [thepoisonreview.com]

• Flushing

  A second reason to consider eating fly agaric is because it is a large mushroom that, as I saw on the Central Coast, can flush in huge numbers. [honest-food.net]

  A side effect from eating fly agaric mushrooms was a rosy, red flush to the cheeks and face. Common winter rituals included drying and stringing fly agaric mushrooms near the hearth. [fs.fed.us]

  For this reason, poisonings with A. muscaria present with more confusion and agitation compared to A. pantherina poisonings, which most commonly present with comatose symptoms. [iceers.org]

  Ten hours after ingestion, he awoke and was completely orientated; 18 hours after ingestion his condition deteriorated again and he became confused and uncooperative. [doi.org]

  However, pharmacologists are now claiming that psychedelic drugs such as LSD and psilocybin could be beneficial in the treatment of conditions such as anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and rare forms of multiple headaches known as cluster headaches [eic.rsc.org]
