Recently, a housewife in Terengganu made the mistake of cooking and serving wild mushrooms that grew in the garden around her house, not knowing that it was a species of mushroom that is poisonous.
According to Sinar Harian, 32-year-old Nurul Musfirah Ghazali, who is a mother of eight, said she did not know that the mushrooms growing outside her house were potentially poisonous.
This caused seven of her children to collapse one by one with foamy mouths and later bled from their mouths within an hour after consuming the cooked mushrooms.
Nurul reportedly picked the mushrooms before frying them with spinach and beans as lunch for her family.
“In less than an hour, I felt like something was wrong, it felt like it was burning my stomach, it felt kind of hot, and at the same time, I was vomiting blood. My husband, Muhammad Nurhadi as well,” she said.
“We were able to see one child after another lying down, some with their mouths foaming and bleeding. Only God knows how I felt at that time.”
Everyone in her house ate the fried mushrooms except the youngest child, who is a little over a year old.
Nurul added that she had seen the wild mushrooms growing in her vegetable garden but never actually picked them out before.
However, on the day of the incident, she did not hesitate at all, so she picked and cooked it.
Please be careful of what you choose to consume.
