Case: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1016/j.wem.2022.06.002
Patient MA by Hamilton Matthews, Brendon by Brendon Martin, Physician by Marcus Ellison, Jr., Physician and Production Assistant by Brandon Galvan
Treat Amanita muscaria with respect regarding its consumption. There's no reason to ever eat 6-10 caps of it at once, like in this case. Treating it like a haha funtime toy is FAFO. Cooking it doesn't always inactivate the chemicals inside.
