WEDNESDAY, June 12, 2024 — The number of people severely sickened after consuming mushroom edibles sold as Diamond Shruumz-brand Chocolate Bars, Cones or Gummies has risen, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday.<\/p>\n
As of Monday, “a total of 12 illnesses have been reported from eight states,” the FDA noted in an updated advisory<\/a>. “All 12 people have reported seeking medical care; 10 have been hospitalized.” No deaths have been reported.<\/p>\n Symptoms have included “seizures, central nervous system depression [loss of consciousness, confusion, sleepiness], agitation, abnormal heart rates, hyper\/hypotension, nausea and vomiting,” the agency added.<\/p>\n The Diamond Shruumz-brand mushroom edible products are being marketed online and at smoke\/vape shops, legal CBD\/THC shops and other retail outlets nationwide. The FDA is asking retailers to stop selling the products.<\/p>\n The edibles pose a special danger to kids, the agency added.<\/p>\n “This product may appeal to children and teenagers as it is marketed as a candy,” the FDA noted. “Parents and caregivers should consider discussing the information in this advisory with their children and take extra care to avoid this product being consumed by younger people.”<\/p>\n Anyone who does become ill after consuming Diamond Shruumz-brand products should call the Poison Help Line at 800-222-1222 and let them know the product was consumed.<\/p>\n Disclaimer:<\/strong> Statistical data in medical articles provide general trends and do not pertain to individuals.
