He didn't get into kidney failure, but I still remember how violent his throwing up was for about five hours no matter how much anti-emetic IV medications we gave him. He was back to normal in about fifteen hours, but he went through hell for at least twelve of them.

    ATTENTION!!!!!!
    First and foremost my condolences to the affected families. RIP Donna Ventura and my thoughts are with all of those who were affected by this horrible negligence. I am a mycologist and hate to say it, but it is possible that the morels imported and served at the restaurant might have been contaminated by mold which can increase the amount of toxins contained in the morels. These morels were not domestic rather imported Chinese cultivated morels. Chinese morel mushroom farms have been found to use soil that is extremely polluted with heavy metals and they use harsh chemicals to control competing fungus, aka Fungicides, in addition to unsanitary packaging and handling. Please, please, please people do not consume raw morel mushrooms in any form or mushrooms that are imported from across the ocean. Always ask if the mushrooms are wild LOCAL mushrooms.

      But I wouldn't even trust that they picked the right wild local mushrooms. As someone who is a toxic mold survivor ( mold and mycotoxins in my HVAC) I would just stay away from any possibility and avoid fungus all together. I clearly do not eat any since my system has been compromised by mold but I think people should be educated about the contamination in corn, coffee and peanuts too.

Plus, they look like little brains and distinctly like little brains and that’s how you know they’re edible morel mushrooms. Very fancy. Apparently much too fancy for a peasant like you. Only the bougie-est most experienced chefs even know about them. 😂
      I had the privilege to go morel mushroom hunting in the boonies in Iowa with said chef. They cook right down to nothing. Like mushrooms do. They were the best mushrooms I’ve ever had. 2008. It’s time for morel mushroom hunting season again. They come out in the spring on fallen elm tree wood but everything looks like soil, leaves, and bits of wood where they’re found.
      Hey Patrick, your genius is showing.
      But what a travesty!! Raw morels??? They wouldn’t even taste good I bet!!! Even if they were fine to eat raw… NO!! Some delicacies are better and meant to be babied and slowly cooked! Peasants. Ugh.

It turns out the rocket fuel poison that dissipates when you heavily cook, males, builds up in the body and, some people bodies have accumulator too much and then it crashes, and other peoples bodies have ever reached that threshold yet, and they can handle it,

      Pain meds might have not bern effective for this kind of massive toxic assault and would have likely suppressed breathing. Massive infusion of sodium ascorbate in 100,000 mg level might have helped but it would not have been thought of. .

    They need to be SHUT DOWN and the owner and chef need to be LOCKED UP. Sue them for everything they have! This breaks our Heart and Infuriates us.

    Sushi is and always will be a risk. It can sit there for days, and has done it to others. Eating out is risky and getting worse.
