A couple in Kindberg in Upper Styria is likely to have eaten poisonous panther mushrooms on Friday. The Styrians contracted severe poisoning and are now even in mortal danger.
A neighbor alerted the emergency services after a couple in Kindberg (Bruck-Mürzzuschlag district) had apparently contracted massive mushroom poisoning. The 57-year-old and her 60-year-old husband complained of nausea, and the woman soon lost consciousness. When rescuers arrived, her husband also passed out. The tightness of the staircase made things even more difficult: the couple had to be rescued from the apartment on the first floor by the Kindberg fire brigade using a turntable ladder. After emergency medical first aid, the man and woman were taken to different hospitals by rescue helicopter. According to the police, both Styrians are in mortal danger. Parts of the consumed mushrooms were confiscated. According to previous investigations, the mushrooms are said to be poisonous panther mushrooms.
