There are about 50 kinds of mushrooms in Korea, but hardly any of them are deadly poisonous. If one is aware of the few representative poisonous mushrooms, one can be quite safe.
Even though the number of deaths due to poisonous mushrooms has fallen, several hundred people still die from poisonous mushrooms each year. If you experience any symptoms such as vomiting, stomachache, or diarrhea, drink salt water and vomit the poisonous mushroom out. Then, go to the nearest hospital.
If there are any remaining poisonous mushrooms, take them with you to the hospital. This will help in diagnosing the treatment. |
