At least 48 people in 24 states said they got sick after eating Diamond Shruumz-brand products, including chocolate bars, cones and gummies, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday.

One death is “potentially associated” with the outbreak and 27 people have been hospitalized, the agency said. People who fell ill reported severe symptoms like seizures, agitation, abnormal heart rates and loss of consciousness. The latest illness was reported Monday, FDA officials said.

Prophet Premium Blends LLC, of Santa Ana, California, recalled all of its Diamond Shruumz products late last month because they contain muscimol, a psychoactive chemical found in potentially toxic Amanita mushrooms that may be tied to the illnesses.

The products are marketed for microdosing, which means taking very small doses of a psychedelic drug to achieve supposed benefits while minimizing negative side effects.

    WTF are you talking about? Can you buy shrooms from the Pharmacy, or do you think handshake transactions downtown are somehow safer than gas stations?

    I suppose if you want drug dealers who are overly concerned with your welfare, you can always go to CVS and get the safe drugs from Purdue Pharma.

      I trust traditional drug dealers more than gas stations.

        For sure. If you’re buying psychedelics from someone, especially someone you know, they’re probably using the drugs as much as you are.

        Which is more than can be said about a gas station which is just as well regulated by the state.
