Potential antidote found for toxin in world’s most poisonous mushroom
Quick Glance: Potential Antidote Discovered for World's Deadliest Mushroom: Study
  • Death cap mushrooms are responsible for over 90% of all mushroom poisoning deaths worldwide.

  • Researchers have found that an already widely used medical dye reduces the toxic effects of death cap mushrooms in mice, raising hopes for the first targeted antidote for the world's deadliest mushroom.

  • Although originally from Europe, death caps have spread worldwide, causing over 38,000 illnesses and nearly 800 deaths in China alone between 2010 and 2020.

  • The research team plans to conduct clinical trials on humans using the dye as a death cap antidote.
