In a landmark effort to avoid releasing numbers about how many drunks the cops have to deal with every night, the Netherlands is focusing on a few rare cases of bad trips from eating mushrooms while ignoring bad reactions to under-cooked chicken and seafood.
Around 500,000 “doses” of packaged mushrooms are sold in the Netherlands annually. According to a study published in January by Amsterdam’s health services, the city’s emergency services were summoned 148 times to deal with a bad reaction to mushrooms in 2004-2006. Of those 134 were foreigners, with Britons forming the largest group.
Seems the logical thing to do would be to ban tourists.
