A Morel Dilemma: Episode 5 — Trial of the Morel

The case against the morel mushroom is starting to come together, but there are still major problems. Not everyone who got sick ate morels, and not everyone who ate morels got sick. If the mushroom is really the culprit, those gaps have to be explained.

In Episode 5 of A Morel Dilemma, we put the CDC data on trial with Dr. Grant Comstock and stress-test the evidence linking morels to the Bozeman outbreak. We look at case definitions, dose response, why some may have gotten sick but not others,

Because the question is no longer just whether morels can make people sick.

It is why this is happening now.

and whether this is truly a new danger or something that has been hiding in plain sight.
