Introduction
After poisoning from consuming "Jian Shou Qing" (a type of hallucinogenic mushroom), the main treatment methods include immediately stopping consumption and inducing vomiting, drinking large amounts of water to promote toxin elimination, preserving a sample of the mushroom, seeking prompt medical attention, and having a designated person provide close supervision and care. If symptoms such as visual hallucinations or vomiting occur, immediate action must be taken to avoid delays in treatment. When consuming Jian Shou Qing in daily life, ensure it is thoroughly cooked; never eat it raw or undercooked. Avoid randomly picking wild Jian Shou Qing mushrooms.

After poisoning from "Jianshouqing" (a type of hallucinogenic mushroom), main treatment measures include immediately stopping consumption and inducing vomiting, drinking large amounts of water to promote detoxification, preserving a sample of the mushroom, seeking prompt medical attention, and having someone stay with and monitor the affected person. If symptoms such as visual hallucinations or vomiting occur, immediate action must be taken to avoid delays in treatment. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Immediately stop eating and induce vomiting

Jianshouqing contains hallucinogenic toxins; continued consumption will worsen the poisoning. Stop eating immediately. If conscious, stimulate the back of the tongue with a finger to induce vomiting, trying to expel any remaining mushrooms from the stomach to reduce toxin absorption.

2. Drink large amounts of water to aid detoxification

Adequate fluid intake helps dilute toxins in the body and accelerates their elimination through metabolism. After vomiting, drink warm water in small amounts but frequently, with a total volume reaching approximately 2000 mL, to help flush toxins out via urine.

3. Preserve a mushroom sample

Different mushrooms contain different toxins. Keeping leftover Jianshouqing or samples of vomit can help doctors quickly identify the type of toxin involved and provide accurate guidance for targeted treatment.

4. Seek prompt medical care

Poisoning from Jianshouqing may cause neurological and psychiatric symptoms and, in severe cases, can be life-threatening. Immediately call emergency services. When seeking medical help, clearly report the time and amount consumed, along with the symptoms that have appeared, to maximize the chances of timely treatment.

5. Assign someone to stay with and monitor the patient

Those poisoned may experience abnormal behaviors such as visual hallucinations or agitation. Having a dedicated person present can prevent accidents like falls or self-harm caused by hallucinations. This person can also closely observe vital signs such as consciousness and breathing, and promptly inform medical staff of any changes.

In daily consumption, ensure Jianshouqing is thoroughly cooked—never eat it raw or undercooked. Avoid randomly picking wild Jianshouqing; purchase only through正规 channels. If any discomfort occurs after eating, do not rely on luck—seeking immediate medical attention is the safest choice.
