"Potential Antidote Found for Deadly Death Cap Mushroom Poisoning"

Scientists have discovered a possible antidote for the world's deadliest mushroom, the death cap mushroom, from a fluorescent dye called indocyanine green (ICG), which is commonly used in medical imaging. The dye stops alpha-amanitin (AMA), the death cap mushroom's primary toxin, dead in its tracks. The antidote has worked in human cells, mini models of the liver, and in mice, but it hasn't been tested in humans. Death cap mushrooms are responsible for 90% of all poisonous mushroom fatalities in humans, and their toxins can cause vomiting, bloody diarrhea or urine, liver and kidney damage, and even death.
