“Mushroom” Fever.
A belief that mushrooms have been responsible for some people developing rash and feverish conditions was referred by the “Chronicle” yesterday to a medical man. His reply was that mushrooms agreed with some people, but did not agree with others. People found out early in life if they could take them. They were quite good for those who could eat them, but could be anything but good for those they
i . —GE’T •disagreed with. He pointed out that there was always a possibility of something other than mushrooms be[ing gathered, and that could easily be , harmful. He said that there was not • the slightest danger of facial eczema in sheep affecting mushrooms as this was not contagious, even among sheep i themselves.
