Treatment of mushroom poisoning
If any, even very lightly, mushroom poisoning, you should immediately consult a doctor or take the injured to hospital. Prior to the arrival of the doctor patient cleans the stomach and intestines and put him to bed. Gastric lavage is made with warm water, salt solution or a weak solution of potassium permanganate.
Gastric lavage is considered to be more effective in comparison with vomiting, since the latter, especially in poisoning with fly agaric, is not effective often. If after taking the poison took several hours and there was profuse vomiting, it is better not to resort to the emetic, but to limit with gastric lavage and laxative. As a laxative, preferably to use castor oil with the addition of 7 – 9 drops of croton oil. You can use the bitter salt, and for the full atonement – enema, taking to the enema 3 tablespoons of castor oil.
Loss of fluid caused by vomiting and diarrhea, you should fill, so give to the patient salty water, thereby reducing vomiting and nausea, strong tea or coffee. With a strong delirium, put on the head a cold compress.
In mushrooms poisoning you shouldn’t drink alcoholic beverages because they contribute to more rapid absorption of fungal poisons into the body.
