A family in Hung Loi was hospitalized for eating poisonous mushrooms.

On the afternoon of August 3, according to information from the People's Committee of Hung Loi commune, a family of 5 people in the commune had symptoms of stomachache, vomiting, and dizziness after eating wild mushrooms. Immediately upon receiving the information, the Hung Loi Commune Health Station guided and supported the whole family of 5 to go to the emergency room at ATK Trung Son Hospital.

Leaders of Hung Loi commune visited and offered support to the family of Mr. Truong Van Vang, whose five members suffered food poisoning after eating wild mushrooms.

Earlier on the evening of August 2nd, the Hung Loi Commune Health Station received information that the family of Mr. Truong Van Vang, in Tau Lin village, consisting of five members – Ms. Ly Thi Chi (born in 1962), Mr. Truong Van Vang (born in 1989), Ms. Dao Thi Xinh (born in 1987), and two children, Truong Thi Thao (born in 2012) and Truong Thi Thuy (born in 2014) – were experiencing symptoms of abdominal pain, vomiting, and dizziness after eating wild mushrooms. The entire family was assisted by the Health Station and taken to the Trung Son ATK Hospital. After receiving first aid, the family was transferred to the Tuyen Quang Provincial General Hospital for monitoring and treatment. Currently, the health of all five family members is temporarily stable.

On the morning of August 3rd, the leaders of Hung Loi commune visited the hospital to offer condolences and encouragement, and also provided the family with 1.5 million VND in financial assistance.

According to doctors, during periods of hot, humid weather and heavy rainfall, wild mushrooms thrive. Although this is a common food, people in mountainous areas mainly rely on personal experience to distinguish between poisonous and non-poisonous mushrooms, sometimes leading to confusion and poisoning. Doctors advise people to absolutely not eat wild mushrooms, mushrooms growing in the wild, or any unfamiliar plants in the forest. If people unfortunately eat wild mushrooms or plants and experience unusual symptoms suspected of poisoning such as vomiting, dizziness, abdominal pain, etc., they should go to the nearest medical facility for emergency treatment.
