Upon receiving the information, the military medical staff came to check their health. Upon examination, they found that the three people were in a state of severe convulsions, showing signs of dehydration, vomiting, shock, low blood pressure, and cardiovascular collapse, so the military medical staff quickly transferred the patients to Ga Ry Commune Health Station for direct first aid by injecting cardiac stimulants, high-speed infusion to stabilize blood pressure, and detoxification. After first aid, all three people were out of danger.

According to Lieutenant Colonel Vinh, through verification, the victims were poisoned by eating wild mushrooms containing toxins. Due to living habits, people who go to the forest often pick mushrooms to improve their meals but do not know the toxicity of each type of mushroom.

According to Lieutenant Colonel Vinh, the unit will continue to promote propaganda to help people grasp basic information about mushrooms; recommend not to use strange mushrooms to avoid life-threatening poisoning.
