    Yunnanese restaurants have developed a complete system of cooking and serving standards (which includes a ban on consuming alcoholic drinks with the mushroom) to minimize poisoning…Nevertheless, poisonings remain common and the treatment thereof has subsequently become a specialty of local hospitals.

    I’d be “poisoning” myself on the reg too. If the only symptom is seeing little people then who wouldn’t want to see elves and eat good mushroom based chinese food?
