To the white fly agaric – is on a ventilator – Aftonbladet

The woman picked what she thought was the Mushrooms and invited home his girlfriend to dinner.

In the end both had to go to hospital when it turned out to be white toadstool.

Now is the one woman on a respirator while waiting for a new liver state Skanska Dagbladet.

It was after one of the women picked white mushrooms next to a school in Teckomatorp in Skåne that she decided to invite her friend to dinner. But after the women, who is originally from Syria, eating what both thought was mushrooms began one of the women feel very bad. She then contacted another female friend who drove her to the emergency room in Lund. There was stated that the woman poisoned, then an ambulance was sent to retrieve even the other woman who had eaten the mushrooms.

“Do not know how it will go”

However, she had only eaten a little bit and was initially not as bad, but just thought it was the stomach flu. But the condition deteriorated and shortly thereafter ended the woman’s liver to function. She was taken to Sahlgrenska Hospital in Gothenburg where she is now waiting for a liver transplant.

– The woman who is in Gothenburg is really very sick. She has her husband and her children remained in Syria and we are some who take turns and is in her, says the women’s common friend of Skanska Dagbladet and says that they are trying to get hold of the woman’s family.

– We know not know how it will go. The doctors called this morning and told me that she deteriorated and that she is now on a ventilator. Now it hangs on that one can get hold of a liver and that her body can receive it, says the friend told the newspaper.

Want warn other

The woman lying in a respirator should be earlier have told her several times eaten mushrooms she picked in the park and it’s been good the times.

– There are many refugee families who eat berries and mushrooms they pick. They do not know that it can be toxic. We are now trying to spread information so that it does not happen again, says the friend to Skanska Dagbladet.

The other woman, who remains in Lund, reported feeling better and should only be a little swelling of the liver.

“not again”

It is not the first time a white fly agaric confused with mushrooms.

– I sighed and thought “not again,” said mushroom consultant Anna Stefansson after having read the Aftonbladet article.

– the same thing happened in 2010, when it was a Thai woman who was in Sweden on a temporary visit and confused white toadstool with another mushroom found in quantities in Thailand. She died after eating it. We hope that these poor women have better luck.

How is the difference between a white fly agaric and mushrooms?

– A white toadstool is completely white . White hat, white boards, white feet and it has both stocking and call. A mushroom has a white hat, but it has pink slices when it is young. It has ring, but no sock. They also grow in different environments. A white mushrooms growing on the lawn while the white fly agaric growing in the forest. White agaric also has a very special scent that some perceive as unpleasant, says Anna Stefansson.
