At Least 112 Dead From Mushrooms in UkraineAt least 112 Ukrainians - including 33 children - have died this year of mushroom poisoning, with the number of victims growing daily, the Health Ministry said Wednesday. Some cases involved entire families, such as a seven-member family including four children who died in a village in the eastern Luhansk region. Mushroom picking is a favorite summer and fall pastime for many people in Ukraine, as well as in other former Soviet republics. |
