A 32-year-old mother from Vaivet village in Tonzang Township, Chin State, Nu Cing Lam Ning, died today, June 11, at the Churachadpur District, Lamka Hospital in Manipur State, India, after being poisoned by seasonal mushrooms. A pregnant woman from Tonzang Township also miscarried after eating seasonal mushrooms, according to locals.
“Last Wednesday, June 4, She was going to the mountain farm and came across mushrooms while cooking and eating them in the hut. In the evening, she started feeling sick with stomach ache. She was treated with short-term medication at home, and her condition gradually worsened, so she was sent to the Cikha Public Hospital on Saturday. From Cikha Public Hospital, it lost consciousness on Monday and was transferred to the Lamka District Hospital, Manipur state, India. Her liver was so damaged that I could not recover and she passed away in the morning of June 11 at the Lamka Hospital,” said a relative of the deceased.
” The reason the mushrooms came out early is probably because the rains came early. This year, we have heard of people eating the wrong mushrooms. This morning, a person who was looking for a cure died at the Lamka Hospital. Now, a pregnant woman from a nearby village also miscarried after eating the wrong mushrooms. She is being treated at the Lamka Hospital. She is also very hopeless condition,” said a women’s rights activist from Tonzang Township.
The deceased, Nu Cing Lam Ning, was survived by her husband Pa Thang Khan Lian and two children. Her body was taken from Lamka town to Vaivet village near Cikha town and will be buried on June 12, 2025 at Vaivet village.
