Careful 🍄......

𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁: Wild Mushroom Poisoning Risk

This message is important for Del Norte County. Recent rain and wet weather can lead to more mushroom growth in forested areas, including some that are very toxic.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴
• CDPH has reported an ongoing outbreak of amatoxin poisoning linked to wild, foraged mushrooms, including Death Cap mushrooms
• Between November 18, 2025 and January 6, 2026, California Poison Control identified 35 hospitalized cases
• This outbreak has resulted in three adult deaths and three liver transplants
• People affected range from 19 months to 67 years
• Cases have been treated in Alameda, Contra Costa, Monterey, San Francisco, San Luis Obispo, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, and Sonoma counties
• Most cases are in the Monterey area and the San Francisco Bay Area, but Death Cap mushrooms can be found across California, especially near oaks, other hardwoods, and some pines
• Some mushrooms were collected from public places, including county, city, and national park lands

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀
• Death Cap mushrooms are easily confused with safe lookalike mushrooms
• Symptoms can start 6 to 24 hours after eating toxic mushrooms
• Early symptoms can include watery diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and dehydration
• Symptoms may improve after a day, but serious to fatal liver damage can still develop 48 to 96 hours later
• Treatment is more difficult once symptoms start, so it is important to get help right away

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲
• Do not eat mushrooms you find outside unless you are 100 percent sure what they are
• Buy mushrooms from a grocery store or vendor
• Be careful with mushrooms shared from foraging
• Keep kids and pets away from wild mushrooms
• Cooking, boiling, freezing, or drying does not make poisonous mushrooms safe

𝗜𝗳 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗮 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺
• Seek medical care right away
• Call California Poison Control at 1 800 222 1222
• Do not wait for symptoms to appear

Sharing this can help keep the Del Norte County community safe.

Lab research shows that lemon eucalyptus essential oil can strongly fight several harmful bacteria—including strains often linked to food contamination and infections.

What’s especially notable is that its antibacterial strength in these tests was similar to gentamicin, a commonly used antibiotic.

Researchers also looked at how it works and found that lemon eucalyptus oil:
• Disrupts bacterial cell walls
• Interferes with how bacteria “communicate” with each other
• Helps prevent bacteria from forming protective biofilms

In simple terms: it doesn’t just slow bacteria down—it makes it harder for them to survive and organize. This study is a great example of how plant chemistry continues to show real promise in modern science.

Emotions aren't just in your mind… they are felt in your body.

Unprocessed emotions, particularly fear, grief, or trauma, create holding patterns in your fascia, leading to tightness, restricted movement, or even chronic pain. Because fascia is rich in sensory nerves, fascia stores unprocessed stress and trauma when there's no safe outlet.

That's why you might cry in deep stretches or feel "stuck" after doing all the work. Also, in Chinese medicine, fascia is linked to the Liver and sinew channels, which store repressed anger and blocked energy (qi).

That lump in your throat, the weight in your chest, or the tightness in your hips?
Your fascia is holding onto past experiences.

When your nervous system is in fight, flight, or freeze, your fascia contracts to protect you. Over time, if stress remains unresolved, fascia stays rigid, limiting movement and disrupting circulation, lymph flow, and even breath patterns.

The longer tension is held, the more deeply ingrained it becomes-until the body is given permission to release.

LET IT FLOW

Fascia is 70% water and collagen. It needs hydration, movement, and safety to function.

When it's stiff, signals don't flow. Emotions can't move. Healing stalls.

When it's fluid, you feel:
🦋 Lightness
🦋 Emotional release
🦋 Regulation
🦋 Expansion in your breath and being

It's like clearing a dam and letting life force return to your tissues.

Basic Fascia Healing Tips

🌟Hydrate optimally: Water! Water! Water! Add Ningxia Red + Mineral Essence for even more fluid, elastic fascia. Of course, Bloom Collagen Complete is nurturing to all connective tissue, including the fascia
🌟Daily movement - such as walking and RAINBOW QIGONG
🌟Stretch consciously, not aggressively. Fascia responds to slow, sustained release.
🌟Targeted breathwork
🌟SLOW DOWN!! Allow your body to unwind chronic tension
🌟Check your posture. How you hold your body affects how your body holds you.
