Wild Mushroom kills entire family!

Well we all know the danger of eating the wrong kind of mushroom but sometimes the danger is driven home in particularly tragic circumstances.

Fortunately, fatalities from eating dodgy fungus are rare in this country, but the Nepal News yesterday reported that five members of a family in the Argakachi district died after eating wild mushrooms brought in from the jungle.

Three of the family died immediately after eating the mushroom after cooking it, whilst the remaining two died later in hospital.
