In Nepal, wild mushrooms claim lives every monsoon, but there is no official data

AI Summary

In Nepal, there is a concerning trend of wild mushroom poisonings every monsoon season, yet the National Disaster Risk Reduction agency lacks official data on this issue. This points to an inadequate response to areas of public health and safety risking lives.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority maintains records of almost all disasters, but has no data on wild mushroom poisoning, which is not legally classified as a disaster.
