The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning the public to avoid Diamond Shruumz chocolates, cones and gummies following an outbreak of severe illnesses that has led to 10 hospitalizations. In an alert sent Wednesday to health care providers, the CDC said a dozen people in eight states have gotten sick after eating the brand’s “microdosing” mushroom edibles. Common symptoms included seizures, abdominal pain, abnormal heart rate and high or low blood pressure.
“It does speak to the uncertainty about what is in the product that could make such a wide array of symptoms.” Are mushroom chocolates regulated? Toxicology experts said Diamond Shruumz products likely fall under the category of a dietary supplement based on their listed ingredients and how they’re advertised.
