History
The poison is a toxalbumin, resembling the poison in the rattlesnake and the poison excreted by the cholera and diphtheria germs. It acts on the red blood corpuscles, dissolving them so that blood escapes into the alimentary canal and the whole system is drained.
The amount of this toxic principle is small, even handling of specimens and breathing of spores affects some people unpleasantly. The poison is slow in development. Even twelve to twenty hours after taking it the patient feels all right.
But vertigo, violent choleraic symptoms with rapid loss of strength with death preceded by stupor and spasms, on the second or third day. Planets: Moon,
