Hi, just after eating a single raw shiitake rehydratated mushroom while slicing the others for cooking, I developed the day after a mild, I presume, episode of shiitake dermatitis. Rash, itching, red bumpings on trunk and legs. No other symptoms.I hope and presume that in a week the symptoms will vanish. . Medical articles related to shiitake toxicity, supposedly based on secretion of interleukin-1 and other inflammatory cytokines , say that there is not mucous membrane (oral? )involvment. But I am worried that the toxin causing the dermatitis could ,even in a single ingestion episode (nevermore shiitake !) cause, during the intestine pass trough, also some sort of inflammation at the colon and/or small intestine linings, seeding so the start of polyps, and so more serious health problems….
Any helpful thought ? Thanks.
