California Mushroom Poisoning: Four Dead and Three Receive Liver Transplants

California Mushroom Poisoning: Four Dead and Three Receive Liver Transplants

In California, a significant health crisis has emerged as four individuals have died and three others have required liver transplants after consuming death cap mushrooms. These mushrooms, known for their high toxicity due to amatoxins, have proliferated following a rainy winter. The California Department of Public Health has issued warnings against mushroom foraging this year, as death caps can be easily mistaken for edible varieties. Since November 18, over three dozen cases of poisoning have been reported, with victims ranging from 19 months to 67 years old. The mushrooms are commonly found in city parks and forests, often under oak trees. Dr. Craig Smollin, from the California Poison Control System, noted the unusual number of cases this year, attributing it to a 'super bloom' of death caps due to warm temperatures and early rains.

Anaheim Police Withhold Officer's Name in Fatal Shooting Amid Threats

The Anaheim Police Department is withholding the name of an officer involved in the fatal shooting of 19-year-old Alberto Arzola, citing threats as the reason for non-disclosure. The incident occurred in December, and the family of Arzola, along with activists, have been demanding the release of the officer's name and unedited body camera footage. The police department has stated that releasing the officer's name could endanger their safety due to public threats. This decision has sparked controversy, as California law generally requires the disclosure of officers' names involved in shootings. The family, represented by attorney V. James DeSimone, disputes the police's account of the incident and is pursuing a civil rights lawsuit against the city. The Orange County district attorney's office is currently investigating the shooting.
