39-year-old man dies after eating poisonous mushrooms

A 39-year-old man died seven days after consuming mushrooms he had picked in the forest. He ate them during the day, and by evening experienced abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and weakness. Despite hospitalization, doctors were unable to save him. Tests detected α-amanitin and β-amanitin — dangerous toxins found in certain poisonous mushrooms. Medical experts stress seeking immediate medical help at the first signs of poisoning.
