Description
This week we review the Tox Talk podcast, Episode 23, Mushrooms. Key pearls
Clitocybe, Inocybe - contain muscarine which stimulates muscarinic receptors (acetylcholine/parasympathetic), causing a cholinergic toxidrome.
Memory aid: these mushrooms end in -yBE, akin to the "killer B's" that make cholinergic toxicity deadly - bradycardia, bronchorrhea, bronchospasm.
Gyromitra - (false morel)
Memory aid: gyromitra named because they look like the gyri of the brain and, conveniently, make the brain seize through depletion of GABA.
Amanita phalloides - the mushroom equivalent of acetaminophen toxicity.
Then, we delve into core content pearls on accidental hypothermia using Rosenalli (Rosen's Emergency Medicine and Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Review Guide).
As always, visit foamcast.org for show notes and the generously donated Rosh Review questions.
Thanks y'all!
