Symptoms of Gyromitrin Poisoning

In a pattern following the majority of potentially deadly mushrooms, the time between eating false morels and the onset of symptoms is typically delayed. Symptoms do not generally start for six to twelve hours, though in cases of severe poisoning they may start sooner (a bad sign). In cases of mild poisoning the symptoms last from two to six days, although those with kidney of liver damage can have ongoing chronic problems. The initial symptoms affect the gastrointestinal tract and include bloating, gas, nausea, and accompanying vomiting and cramps. Severe headache and fever also may be present in the early phase. After thirty-six hours, more severely poisoned victims can develop signs of liver failure including jaundice and swelling of the liver and spleen. The breakdown of red blood cells and corresponding increase in plasma proteins can overwhelm the kidneys at a time they are responding directly to the toxins, a combination of factors that has led to renal failure in some people. Those individuals ingesting a lethal amount of gyromitrin then enter a neurologic phase with potential convulsions, delirium, coma, and death.10
