  Speaker 1: Today's episode once again discusses the depths of individuals. If
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: this sort of thing upsets you, may it suggest you
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: read a book, maybe something like Cannery Row. Well, you
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: may have the more with their host, doctor Kinder crowns
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: to day's episode Foraging Misadventures. When I was driving to
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: work the other day, I heard his story on the radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: It was about individuals in Arizona that were reportedly licking toads. Evidently,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: recent unseasonal monsoonal rains in Arizona had caused an increase
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: in the appearance of this particular toad. The toads had
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: come out of their ground habitats to breed in the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: puddling water. People believed that if they catched these toads
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: and licked them, they would get high. When I heard this,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: it reminded me of a couple of my high school
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: friends from years ago. They were really into drugs, and
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: they were really into hallucinogenic drugs and often talked about
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: finding new ones. And somehow they had heard a story
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: about toads that if you licked them you could have
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: a crazy hallucinogenic experience. Where they found this information out
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: about these magical toads I still don't know to this day,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: but I know they went on a hunt to find
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: one of them in the wilds of Kansas, and they
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: were definitely armed with bad information because they caught a
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: couple of the toads and attempted to lick them and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: ended up throwing up for about twenty four hours. They
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: showed my other friends and I the toads that they
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: had caught. They were large, light yellow toads with dark
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: green spots that were outlined by a lighter color. They
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: had a large lump between their eyes and numerous warts
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: on their body. Comparing them to pictures in a book,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: it appears they had caught a great plane's toad, which
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: is very common in Kansas and not known to secrete
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: halloo synogens. It is instead known for secreting a toxic
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: substance known as buffo toxin. And they were lucky that
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: all they did was get nausey and vomiting, because if
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: this toxin is in high enough levels, it can actually
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: make you go into heart failure. I had forgotten about
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: this until I heard this radio show all these years later,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: and I thought, are these indeed the magical toads my
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: friends were looking for and after a little research I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: found out they just might be. The mythical toad from
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: my high school friend's quest is known as the Sonara
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Desert toad or Colorado River toad. It is a large
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: olive green to brownish gray toad with relatively smooth skin
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: and prominent prodiglands behind each eye in some large wartz
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: on its hind legs. It can be found in Colorado, California,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: New Mexico, and Arizona, but definitely not Kansas. So my
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: friends had been doomed to failure from the start. This
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: toad is special because it secretes a toxin from its
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: parodi gland, known as five methoxy dimethyl trip tomine, which
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: is a neurotoxin and actually, in humans, a powerful hallucinogenic
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: which can cause audio and visual distortions, alter your perception
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: of time, as well as amplifying emotional states and feeling
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: of awareness. It can even make you feel like you've
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: been reborn. The effects can last for an hour and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: leave the user with an altered mood in perception and
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: so really, can you go on a magic carpet ride
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: by catching one of these toes and having a good lick?
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I had to find out the answer to this question,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and the answer is possibly, but not by directly licking them.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: In fact, what most people do is extract the five
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: methoxydimethyl trip to meine and make it into a paste
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and smoke it or do other things with it, but
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: not lick the toad. Problem with licking the toad is
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the substances they are releasing, or when they are captured
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: by a predator, picked up in a dog's mouth or
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: something like that, and they release these substances as a
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: fear response, and they don't regulate how much they release,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and so you never know how much you're going to
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: get when you attempt to lick one, and if you
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: get too much of the toxin, it can actually cause
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: you to have a seizure, go into a coma, and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: even die suddenly. Plus they secrete other toxins as well,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: which are cardiac glycosides which can cause gastrointestinal issues like
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: lousy and vomiting and diarrhea, And they can also be cardiotoxic,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: which means it results in poisoning of your heart. And
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: these toxins can cause your heart to slow down, cause
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: a regular heart rates or dysrhythmias, which can result in
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: sudden death. From an article I read, it's stated toad
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: poisoning comes with a high mortality rate, So if you're
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: into licking toads, it's a risky endeavor that can result
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: in death, and I wouldn't recommend it. Often when people
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: experience nature, they take in the beauty, they see, the sights,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: they smell the smells, they take scenic pictures. They don't
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: seek out peril or things that can result in disastrous consequences.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: But some people, often males, actively seek these things out
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and more often than not, their actions result in a
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: free trip to the morgue. And also, we will be
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: playing a double header of everybody's favorite true crime game show,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Is It Alcohol, Meth or Women? So get your scantron
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: answer sheets out, sharpen your number two pencils, and have
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: your answers ready at the end of each case. So
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: let's get started. The first case we'll be discussing. As
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: a twenty year old male, he loved to go hiking
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: in the forest and experiencing nature firsthand. And on his
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: latest hike, he saw what he thought were magic mushrooms.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: He went to the library, looked them up, studied pictures
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and flipped through many books on mushrooms, and it was
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: certain he was right. He told his friends he had
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: discovered magic mushrooms, and he was certain of it because
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: he had seen pictures in the library. And he said
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: he was going to go back out there and harvest them,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and asked if they wanted to come along, to which
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: they all said no, and he said, well, okay, he
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: would bring them back to share with them and they
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: would all have a great party. The problem is, though
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of mushrooms can look alike, mushrooms are the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: member of the Kingdom fungi, which is one of the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: largest most diverse groups of organisms, second only to insects.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: It has been estimated that there are more than ten
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: thousand species of mushrooms found in the United States and
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the area he was living in in the state of Illinois,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: there are at least two thousand species that can occur,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: and some of them are edible, and some of them
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: are deadly, and those deadly ones are fairly similar in
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: appearance to the safe ones. Steak can have horrible consequences.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: When he went out, he ended up finding his quarry.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: They were growing in abundance in the wet Illinois woodlands,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: popping up on the rotting wood of fallen trees. He
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: picked dozens of mushrooms and brought them home. He then
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: dried them out over the next few weeks. Excited about
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the possibilities of what was going to happen, and he
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: told his friends he was going to make a killer's
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: psychedelic tea and all his friends could come over and
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: drink his tea and have a crazy, wild party. When
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: he felt the mushrooms were sufficiently dry, he ground them up,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: put them in boiling water, and made them into a tea.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: He called his friends and invited them over to partake
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: in his concoction, but no one wanted to, and he
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: responded to them with, well, I guess that's more for me.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: And he drank his magic elixir and he was disappointed
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: because nothing happened. Everything was just normal. He didn't hallucinate
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: or anything. After several hours, though, something did occur. He
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: began vomiting, and then he began having explosive diarrhea. This
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: was not the experience he was hoping for, and this
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: continued for about a day or so, and after it ended,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: he called one of his friends and told him how
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: sick he had been, and they told him, do you
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: think it was the mushrooms? And he said, it's a
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: possibility that maybe he had gotten the wrong type of
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: mushrooms and he wasn't going to try them again. And
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: his friend told him, well, maybe he should go to
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the hospital and get checked out, and he said no,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: he was doing better now and he was okay, so
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: he didn't need to go to the doctors. A day
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: or two later, he didn't show up to his job
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and one of his friends went to check on him.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: They had a key to his apartment and when they entered,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: they found him on his bed. He was still alive,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: but unresponsive and his skin was bright yellow. The friend
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: called emergency medical services. They responded and took him to
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: the hospital, where he was found to be in life
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: her and renal failure. He was admitted to an ICU,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: put on a ventilator, and slowly progressed to multi organ
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: failure and eventually died after several days. At autopsy, he
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: had mark jaundice and scleral ictorus, which means his skin
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: was highlighter yellow, as well as the whites of his eyes,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: and this is evidence of liver failure. Internally, there was
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: palmony congestion and edema, which is fluid on his lungs.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: His liver was softened in necrotic with areas of hemorrhage,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: so basically the tissue was dead and there were small,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: pinpoint particular hemorrhages along his kidneys and on the mucosa
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: of his stomach. He died from multi organ failure, it
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: was obvious, and the reason his organs went into failure
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: was most likely due to the mushroom concoction that he
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: had drank. So the question became what mushrooms were they.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: We sent the death investigators back out to the apartment
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: to see if they could find the mushrooms that he
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: had consumed. They did find them in the trash that
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: is Setent had gone out in the woods to find
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: a particular mushroom known as a liberty bell or liberty cap,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and these are the magic mushrooms that everybody knows. They
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: are little brown mushrooms with a distinctive conical or bell
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: shaped cap that contain the psychoactive compounds psilocybin, silocin in baosysteine,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and these compounds can cause visual distortions, mood elevations, and
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: auditory hallucinations. After being dried. Magic mushrooms can be consumed.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: They can be cooked up, put in food, crushed into seasonings,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and of course made into a tea. But he didn't
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: find those mushrooms. What he found wasn't liberty bells, but
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: instead mushrooms with the scientific name of Gallerina marginata, which
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: has the ominous name of funeral bell mushrooms. These are
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: relatively small, rusty brown mushrooms that can have caps that
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: are broadly convex to flat to slightly be l shaped,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: which makes them easily mistaken for liberty bells. Funeral bells
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: do not contain silocybin, but instead contain the most potent
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: mushroom toxin known, which is called amatoxin. Amatoxin poisons the
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: body by causing damage to liver cells, resulting in cellular necrosis,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: which then results in acute liver dysfunction and liver failure.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Amatoxin is responsible for ninety percent of mushroom poisonings worldwide.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Its thermo stable, which means cooking it won't destroy it,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: nor just freezing. A single mushroom can contain up to
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: fifteen milligrams of the toxin and zero point one milligram
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: per kilogram can be fatal to humans. For perspective, one
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty pounds individual is roughly eighty two kilograms,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and that means eight point two milligrams would be fatal,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: which is a little over half a mushroom. After the
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: identity the mushrooms was confirmed, the cause of death was
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: determined to be amatoxin toxicity and the manner of death
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: was determined to be accident. Case closed, So pull out
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: your answer sheets and mark down your answers. Was it alcohol,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: meth or women. The answer to this case is it
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: was women. He was trying to impress some of the
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: women at work with his forestry knowledge and his fancy
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: psychedelic concoctions, but he had picked the wrong mushrooms and
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: thankfully the women he was trying to impress didn't come over,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: so we didn't get multiple deaths. The rest of his
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: drug screen was negative, no alcohol, no math, amphetamine, even
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: no marijuana. It was just his poor foraging skills that
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: resulted in his death. This case was a twenty eight
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: year old meal who was swimming in a lake with
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: his friends. His friends witnessed him to start struggling to
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: stay afloat and he went under water and didn't resurface.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: His friends panicked. They began swimming and looking for him,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: and they eventually found him after several minutes deep under water.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: They pulled him ashore and began performing cardipolinary resuscitation and
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: called nine one one. Emergency Medical services arrived and took
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the CPR over and he was eventually airlifted to a hospital.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: They had gone return of spontaneous circulation, so his heart
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: was beating, and a CTA of his head was done,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: but it showed he had hypoxic ischemic injury, which means
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: his brain had not gotten enough oxygen and was basically dead.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: A ct of his chest and abdomen showed extensive changes
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: of his lungs consistent with drowning, and also foreign bodies
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: in his mouth, the bronchi of the right love of
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: his lung, and in his stomach. He was placed on
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: a ventilator and admitted to the ICU, where he continued
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: to decline and eventually was pronounced dead. I performed his
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: autopsy and he was a well developed, well nourished male,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: appearing the reported age. He had swelling of his brain
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: or cerebral edema in fluid on his lungs or polmeriadimo.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: All these findings are consistent with drowning. When I opened
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: up his stomach, it contained numerous intact and crushed shells.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I cleaned them up and looked at them more closely,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and they were zebra muscle shells, and I instantly knew
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: what they were. The shells were also located in esophagus,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: and bits and pieces of the crust strup shells were
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: embedded in the roof of his mouth and in his
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: gums and tongue. Evidently, while he was out with his friends,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: he had decided to consume zebra muscles raw and chew
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: them and crunch their shells. We had the death investigators
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: do follow up questioning, and when they questioned his friends
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: that were at the scene, no one claimed to have
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: seen him eat anything. But it was obvious he had
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: done this intentionally. But why law enforcement came up with
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the theory that the zebra muscles could have gotten into
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: his mouth and stomach after he died. But the thing
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: about it is is he didn't die initially, he was
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: on respond and also he wasn't underwater long enough for
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: the zebra muscles to even gotten on his body or
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: moved in because they don't move that fast, and there
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: had been no passive flow of water into his airway,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: and because they were crushed up, he obviously had chewed them.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: And again the question is why, before we go further,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: let's talk about zebra muscles, because they did play a
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: role in this Seedon's death. Zebra muscles are fingernails sized
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: mullusks that are native to the fresh waters in Eurasia.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Their name comes from their dark zigzagging stripes on each shell.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: They have a distinctive flat bottom shape to their shells
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: as well that allows them to sit flat against solid surfaces.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: They are not native to North America and evidently arrived
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: here in nineteen eighty six and the ballast of Transatlantic
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: ships delivering goods to the US. And when the ships
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: entered into port, they would dump the ballast tanks and
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: the larvae got free and took hold in the Great Lakes.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: And after this they spread throughout the US and appear
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: in lakes and streams almost everywhere. And they accomplish this
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: by adhering to boats that wearing contaminated waterways that were
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: then taken to uncontaminated waterways, releasing the mollusks into a
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: new territory. The United States Geologic Survey as Scientific Bureau
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: with the Department of Interior says they do not recommend
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: that zebra muscles be eaten by people, but fish and
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: ducks eat them and don't die, so they aren't necessarily harmful.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: But zebra muscles are so small that you would have
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: to eat a lot of them to be able to
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: become full, and you'd have to be pretty hungry to
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: want to eat them. Zebra muscles reproduce rapidly and quickly
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: take over waterways in which they invade their filter feeders
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: and can filter up to a leader of water an hour,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: and there'll be thousands of them filtering the water, and
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: this changes the ecosystem of the waterway that they are
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: in and promotes the growth of a lot of different things,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: particularly harmful organisms. In this particular lake the individual was
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: swimming in when he died, the zebra muscles had promoted
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: the growth of cyanobacteria, also known as blue green algae.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: At that time of the year, there had been several
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: large blooms of blue green algae, especially in this lake.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: There were warnings put out because several dogs, in particular labradors,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: had been playing in the lake and had died from
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: their exposure to the algae. Cyanobacteria are the most toxic
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: algae group in freshwater lakes, rivers, and ponds. Their blooms
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: can look like iridescent slicks or mats of blue green
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: algae in the water, they can produce toxins known as
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: cyanotoxins that can cause illness. Common cyanotoxins include microcystins, anotoxins, saxotoxins,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: and nodularans. These toxins can cause effects in the human
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: body that range from neurologic problems, liver failure, and irritation
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: of the skin, and when the toxins get high enough
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: in the water, it can pose severe health problems for
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: people as well as birds and animals, and birds that
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: can result in avian vacular myelinopathy. This disease causes birds
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: to crash into objects, lose coordination, fall from the sky,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: and exhibit tremors. One interesting fact is a similar neurotoxin
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: called domic acid, produced by the diatom of the genus
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: pseudo Nitzchia, caused something similar to avian vacular myelinopathy in
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: birds in Monterey Bay, California, in nineteen sixty one. It
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: caused the birds to crash into cars and houses and
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: other things, as well as fall from the sky seizing
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: when they were on the ground. This incident was widely
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: publicized and it became the partial inspiration for Alfred Hitchcock
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: to write his avian fueled horror movie The Birds. Cyanotoxins
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: also claimed canine victims due to their propensity to not
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: care what water they drink and their love of swimming.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: The dogs drink the contamina water or lick their skin
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: covered with the itchy algae and then die from seizures
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: related to the neurotoxins. Humans can get exposed as well
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: by swallowing the contaminated water while swimming or eating contaminated
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: fish or muscles, and you can absorb it through direct
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: contact with skin. Symptoms and humans can vary depending on
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: what particular cyanotoxin was at the highest level and when
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the individual gets exposed to it. With this case, there
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: was no real reason why he suddenly started struggling in
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the water, so it was made pending because he ate
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: the zebra muscles and it was so unusual. I really
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: thought he was going to have methamphetamine in his blood.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I had to send out his gastric contents to an
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: outside lab to get special tests for the cyanotoxins, and
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: we waited after a few weeks as toxicology finally came
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: back and he was found to have several cyanotoxins, specifically microsystems, anatoxins,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: and saxotoxins, and these toxins were associated with him consuming
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: the zebra muscles. The levels that were found in his
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: gastric contents were not high enough to have a lethal exposure,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: but they could have been enough to cause him to
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: become compromised in the water, resulting in him starting to
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: struggle to stay afloat and eventually going underneath the water
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: and drowning. So his cosy deaths was made drowning with
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: a significant contributing factor of cyanotoxin toxicity, and the manner
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: death was made accident due to the fact that he
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: was probably not forced to eat the muscles, and this
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: was probably something he did on his own. So case closed,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: and once again pull out your answer sheets, and what
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: was your answer? Was it alcohol, meth or women and
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: the answer is and once again it was women. Other
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: than the cyanotoxins found in his system, he showed no
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: drugs or alcohol in his toxicolity. He ate the zebra
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: muscles completely sober, and the assumption can be made. The
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: swim group he was swimming with also had several women
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: in it, and he was probably trying to impress them
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: with his ability to eat something disgusting. As an aside,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: one of the guys I knew in high school, one
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: of the toad liquors he liked to vomit to impress girls.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: He won time, drank an entire two liter bottle of
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: strawberry pop and yes I say pop, not soda or coke,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: and vomited in front of a group of girls at
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: a mall late on a Friday night. I can still
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: see him wearing his ACDC Fly on the Wall T
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: shirt with the sleeves cut off, bent over puking up
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: bright pink fluid that splattered all over the white and
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: brown tile of the mall floor. I can also remember
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: the horrified expressions on the girl's faces before they quickly
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: ran off, screaming and saying, how discussing we were as
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: far as I know this tactic never worked for him,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: and after high school I lost track of him. I hope,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: wherever he is that he's found someone that understands him
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: and accepts his crazy hijinks, and I hope he's happy,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: and that brings us to the end of the episode.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I hope you learned something like all mushrooms are edible,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: some only once, and I hope you were entertained until
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the next time.
