BUT IT'S NATURAL!

Some Dingleberry vacationing in Costa Rica nibbled a wild mushroom she found 'because her friend said it was a magic mushroom' (and would give her a 'high'). Then a few hours later frantically sought advice from the members of a Natural Healing website. She was in horrible pain.
And asked for a natural way of curing herself.
That plea was reposted elsewhere.

Which was where I saw it.

Most of the commenters there mentioned Natural Selection, and death from kidney or liver damage, in many extremely funny ways, waxing by turns morbid, lyrical, biting. Most of their remarks were funny as hell.
But it's still sad.


"Four hours later I'm throwing up uncontrollably, endless diarrhea and painful massive cramps as well as cold sweaqts -- tips on how to make this go away naturally."


Some poor dumbass dingleberry might not survive much longer because she's too darn stupid to live.


Best case scenario, based on possible (!) identification of the mushroom in the photo the dingleberry posted: Chlorophyllum molybdites.

From Wikipedia: "The symptoms are predominantly gastrointestinal in nature, with vomiting, diarrhea and colic, often severe, occurring 1–3 hours after consumption. Although these poisonings can be severe, none has yet resulted in death."


If it's natural, it can't possibly be bad. Right?

Rattlesnake venom is natural.

Rabies ditto.



Being naturally dumber than a bag of hammers, and having no common sense whatsoever, are, sadly, NOT survival skills.
