- Unfortunately, this information reached me only after the present article had been set in pages.[doi.org]
- Abstract Hypothesis have been made that relatively high level of mannitol present in the tissues of fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) enables more efficient transportation of these active substances into the brain and thus enhance their total activity.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
Gastric Lavage
- Quick identification of the poison, early use of gastric lavage and symptomatic treatment resulted in regression of symptoms and lead to the patient's discharge from the hospital on the third day after intoxication.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- 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]
- . • Emergent treatment, depending on time-factor, consists of gastric decontamination, gastric lavage, activated charcoal, benzodiazepines for control of agitation, hyperactivity and seizures. Availability Wild-crafted. Tinctures, creams.[stuartxchange.org]
Fever
- Antipyretic (fever reducer), hallucinogenic, insecticide, sweating, tuberculosis (intestinal). Dosing Adults (18 years and older) Safety, efficacy, and dosing have not been systematically studied.[naturesfoodpatch.com]
- A very few severe reactions, including fevers and deaths, have been reported in contexts of psilocybin poisoning of small children; "grazing" accidents by toddlers should be treated in a hospital.[web.archive.org]
- Pasteur was, of course, the French scientist who managed to keep lots of folks from dying in various horrible ways, by creating the process of pasteurization that prevented formerly widespread milk fevers (typhoid and scarlet fever, septic sore throat[bayareamushrooms.org]
Gastrointestinal
Nausea
- ., Amanita Muscaria are poisonous mushrooms that can cause symptoms from nausea and discomfort to liver or kidney damage.[valleyrecord.com]
- Origin: USA, NC Distribution: Throughout NC Poison Part: Mushroom Poison Delivery Mode: Ingestion Symptoms: Patient appears to be intoxicated, hallucinations, drowsiness, vomiting, nausea, stomach pains, diarrhea, muscle spasms, hypotension, agitation[plants.ces.ncsu.edu]
- ./ However, oral ingestion is known to cause extreme nausea. Some people – to lessen the nausea caused – brew a tee from the mushroom and drink that.[simonsblogpark.com]
- 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]
Diarrhea

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]

Jaw & Teeth
Hypersalivation

Cardiovascular
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]

- No patients experienced hypotension, seizures, acute kidney injury, or hepatotoxicity. No deaths were reported.[doi.org]
Skin
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]
- Skin may be warm and flushed. Fly agaric toxicity is characterized by nausea, heavy vomiting, and severe diarrhea.[naturesfoodpatch.com]
Increased Sweating
- These effects range from twitching to drowsiness, lowered blood pressure, increased sweat and saliva, visual distortions, mood changes, euphoria, relaxation, and hallucinations.[shamanicjourney.com]
