I just wanted to let everyone know about our experience last night. E possibly ate some wild mushrooms. We saw them in her hands but weren't sure.
I called poison control and they told me they never take chances with mushrooms because you never know what's poisonous so to get her to the ER within an hour of the incident for charcoal.
So she is fine, but we spent 2 hours in the ER last night and she had 60ml of charcoal. Luckily for me she was a trooper and didn't give me too much trouble (they let me do it because she took to it ok).
And that is off a maybe eating a mushroom that may or may not be poisonous. The ER doctor had my husband take pictures and he sent them to me, I texted them to the doctor and he sent them to his friend who is a botonus but he told him only a true mushroom expert could tell him what the mushroom was.
If she was to get sick within 24 hours after the incident we have to go back to the hospital and poison control calls an expert to come in to identify the mushroom.
Poison control told the doctor this happens often, that babies may have got into mushrooms, because it is so fast they grab them, and the answer is always better safe than sorry.
