A four-year-old child died in hospital for mushroom poisoning. His eight-year-old sister and parents also remain in serious condition. 

The family from Floreşti used mushrooms picked from the forest. 

PUBLIKA.MD recalls that 11 people, including six children, arrived at the hospital this week for poisoning. Two minors and two adults were interned in serious condition. They all ate mushrooms bought from unauthorized places.

In most cases, vendors assure buyers that they know all the mushroom species.

Symptoms of fungal poisoning occur in at least 15 minutes and up to three hours after consumption. If you experience abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea or gastrointestinal distress, contact your doctor immediately.
