Austria Shocker: Man Chops Off Own Penis During Magic Mushroom-Induced Psychotic Episode, Organ Reattached by Doctors
In Austria, a 37-year-old man amputated his own penis during a psychotic episode after consuming magic mushrooms. Despite severe damage, doctors managed to reattach part of the organ following the bizarre incident.
Vienna, September 30: In a strange incident in Austria, a man reportedly chopped off his own penis with an axe after taking a large amount of psychedelic mushrooms commonly referred to as the 'magic mushroom'. Thankfully, doctors were able to reattach the organ. Reportedly, the man consumed four to five individual dried mushrooms, leading to a brief psychotic episode during which he used an axe to sever his penis into multiple pieces.
According to a report by the New York Post, the 37-year-old man suffering from depression and alcohol abuse experienced a psychotic break after using psilocybin mushrooms. While mainstream medicine is recognizing the therapeutic benefits of these mushrooms for treating psychological distress, the patient did not find relief, as he used the substance unsupervised in an attempt to manage his mental health issues.
