Health Risk: Man Injects Himself With Magic Mushroom, Suffers Organ Failure

To treat depression and anxiety, a 30-year-old US citizen injected himself with the psychedelic drug, found in "magic" mushrooms. Skipping his medicines, the man resorted to consume the mushrooms which are potent to reduce opioid. However, he directly injected these mushrooms, meant to be taken orally, in his veins which has resulted in organ failure as the fungi began to grow in his bloodstream. Subsequently, the man was put on ventilator and is on long-term treatment.
