Probably many have heard about such a poisonous mushroom,like a grebe. The fungus grows mainly in forest-steppe areas. Of all the poisonous fungi found on the territory of our country, it is the most dangerous.
Why do people, collecting mushrooms, take and poisonoustoadstool The answer is very simple. Mushroom pickers, which do not have enough experience, often confuse this type of mushroom with champignons. However, toadstool is a mushroom, which, upon careful examination, has significant differences from other edible mushrooms. Its hat has light, almost white colors, but over time it can change to grayish or white-lemon. But the plates under the cap are pure white, and, unlike champignons, they do not change their color to pink or dark. The mushroom pale grebe has a tuber-shaped stem, and in its lower part there is a distinctive skirt (fringe around the circumference of the stem).
These mushrooms refer to the so-calledhepatonephrotropic group. In addition to this fungus, there are also green mushrooms, stitches, etc. Toxins in such fungi are two toxins: a fast-acting phalotoxin and amanitotoxin slow-acting. It is believed that for a person the lethal dose of amanitotoxin is only 0.1-0.5 mg per kilogram of body weight. And phalotoxin will require from 20 to 30 mg. In principle, according to the severity of poisoning, these mushrooms can be compared with a bite of a cobra or a gurza.
It is important to know that grebe is a mushroom that retains its toxic properties even after prolonged heat and cooking.
When exposed to toxins in the body in the firstthe turn of the lesion occurs in the gastrointestinal tract, and, accordingly, in the future, the liver and kidneys are also affected. Initially, symptoms of poisoning manifest as weakness, abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. Then poisonous mushrooms (pale toadstool and others) provoke a condition called medics as “imaginary well-being”. And it is very dangerous because a person calms down after painful symptoms and does not seek help from doctors, considering that everything that happened to him is a simple upset stomach. And this leads to sad consequences. Since the later the rescue measures are taken, the more sad the consequences can be. In the future, the symptoms worsen significantly, and, in addition to all of the above, grebe can provoke dehydration, jaundice of the skin, cardiovascular insufficiency (due to thickening of the blood and damage to the blood supply system with toxins) come a coma.
Последние годы статистика отравлений ядовитыми fungi indicates increased symptoms and effects of damage to the central nervous system of man. Such poisonings are often accompanied by heightened nervousness and anxiety, numbness of the limbs and pain, swelling, and loss of sensitivity in various parts of the body. Doctors and scientists explain this evolution of symptoms by the accumulation of more salts of heavy metals in mushrooms. In addition, increased radiation pollution of the environment, soil treatment with various chemicals and fertilizers causes accumulation of radionuclides, pesticides and other harmful substances in mushrooms (and not only toadstools).
If your loved ones or you got poisoned, andwhether it is important, an toadstool, an edible mushroom, or even the “gift of nature” well known to you, you should immediately seek help from physicians. You should not risk your life and health, relying on folk (non-traditional) treatment methods. At the same time, it is necessary to require medical treatment in inpatient hospitals, as it is extremely difficult to ascertain the degree of poisoning at home.
