In Gomel, a woman barely survived after dining on death cap mushrooms. Google assured her they were russulas

The woman admitted that she did not properly check the mushrooms and did not protect herself from danger, although she doubted they were russulas. She cooked two large mushroom caps in batter, after first frying them raw. After that, the mushrooms lay in the refrigerator for several more days before she ate them. The Gomel resident noted that she is now afraid to even imagine what could have happened if her relatives had tasted these mushrooms.

The woman ate the mushrooms on October 13 around seven in the evening. They tasted no different from ordinary ones. Around three in the morning, she woke up, ate a candy, and soon felt nauseous. At first, she thought the sweetness was the cause and went back to sleep.

However, in the morning, when it was time to go to work, the nausea did not subside. Around half-past eight, severe vomiting began. Colleagues advised her not to delay and to call an ambulance. The woman noted that the symptoms of poisoning did not appear immediately: several hours passed between consuming the mushrooms and a sharp deterioration in her well-being. At this point, she still did not suspect that she had eaten a death cap mushroom.

Ambulance medics provided her with first aid and took her to the hospital with a diagnosis of "mushroom poisoning." Initially, the Gomel resident thought she would quickly recover and be discharged home.

At the hospital, she had tests, an ultrasound, and they decided to keep her under observation, even if her condition temporarily improved. The woman said her pulse was weak, blood pressure was low, and her consciousness felt clouded. She didn't feel pain, and her temperature remained almost normal throughout. For the first three days, she shivered violently from the cold, feeling weak and sluggish.

The Gomel resident was given IV drips, and, according to her, at one point their number exceeded 15 per day. She claims that medics initially did not believe it was death cap mushroom poisoning. According to her version, her relatives helped to get proper attention for this diagnosis by contacting the management and calling the Ministry of Health.

On the second day, her test results began to worsen. The nausea did not pass, although there was no more vomiting, and everything around her seemed to swim before her eyes. Blood biochemical parameters were checked every six hours.

On the third day, severe diarrhea began, recurring approximately every half hour. The woman recounted that she could barely stand due to exhaustion and was forced to sleep sitting on a bucket. She prepared diapers and hygiene products because she was embarrassed to cause inconvenience to anyone.

When the level of enzymes in her blood sharply increased, she underwent her first plasmapheresis — a blood purification procedure. According to her, it was painful and scary. The next day, a second procedure was performed, after which donor plasma was transfused. For four days, the woman ate nothing and received the necessary support through IV drips.

Since her condition did not improve, on October 17, the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit of the Research and Practical Center for Surgery, Transplantology, and Hematology in Minsk. First, she underwent a CT scan of her brain, after which she was placed in the intensive care unit.

The medics immediately explained the possible further treatment plan. If the enzyme levels continued to rise, more intensive blood purification would be required, and if there was no result, preparations for a liver transplant would have to be made.

On Sunday, the enzymes began to decrease, but doctors were in no hurry to conclude that she was recovering, as the condition after death cap mushroom poisoning can be deceptive. The woman continued to receive IV drips, a diuretic was added, and a urinary catheter was inserted. On Monday, after examination, she was informed that she could be transferred to a ward.

Despite the improvement, the treatment remained difficult. Her veins were already poorly tolerating numerous injections and collapsing, making it difficult for medics to draw blood for tests. Inflammation occurred in areas where medications were continuously administered through catheters, and sometimes medications leaked under the skin. The woman noted that all of this was accompanied by pain and fear.
