Shock and Coma after Ingestion of Morels Abstract. We present the case report of a previously healthy, 42-year-old woman who suffered from a hypovolemic shock, hypoglycemic coma, NSTEMI and temporary dependency on dialysis following the ingestion of morels. Alas there is little public knowledge about the toxicity of morels and the importance of their appropriate preparation so that intoxications can be prevented.
