Eleven children and adults were transported to a hospital on Friday night in Pennsylvania after eating and being sickened by “toxic mushrooms”, authorities said.
Emergency medical personnel responded to a report around 9.30pm of 11 people becoming ill after ingesting the mushrooms in Peach Bottom Township, the Delta-Cardiff volunteer company station 57 said in a social media post.
“Units were advised that 11 people had ingested toxic mushrooms and were all ill,” the post said.
The post referred to the emergency in York county as a “mass casualty” situation and said emergency units had been dispatched from York and Lancaster counties and from Harford county, Maryland.
The Delta-Cardiff fire chief, Laura Taylor, said the adults and children had been taken to the hospital in stable condition, the local television station WPMT reported.
