Severe Poisonings Linked to Diamond Shruumz Microdose Candies
Following an ongoing outbreak, more people have reported severe poisonings after consuming microdose candies made by Diamond Shruumz, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
There are now at least 12 reported cases across eight states. All 12 individuals required medical care, with 10 of them needing hospitalization. Symptoms reported include seizures, central nervous system depression, agitation, abnormal heart rates, hyper/hypotension, nausea, and vomiting.
Expanded Product Warning
The FDA has expanded its warning to cover all flavors of Diamond Shruumz’s Microdosing Chocolate Bars, Infused Cones, and Micro Dose and Macro Dose Gummies.
The most recent case was reported on June 9. The initial warning was issued on June 7 after eight people in four states were sickened, with six hospitalized. The public is advised not to consume these products.
Nationwide Availability
Diamond Shruumz candies are available nationwide, both online and in various retail locations, including smoke/vape shops and retailers selling hemp-derived products.
States affected by the outbreak include Alabama, Arizona, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina.
Company Response
Diamond Schruumz has not responded to requests for comment. The company’s products are marketed as “trippy,” “psychedelic,” and “hallucinogenic,” though lab reports show they do not contain psilocybin.
The candies allegedly contain a blend of Lion’s mane, Reishi, and Chaga mushrooms, described as nootropic and functional. The FDA, Poison Centers, and CDC are investigating the cause of the poisonings.
