Diamond Shruumz-brand chocolate bars, gummies and cones were sold online and in shops nationwide, labeled as containing proprietary blends of mushroom extracts and "adaptogens." In June 2024, four young people in Yavapai County, Arizona, ate the chocolate and ended up in emergency departments with seizures. By October 31, CDC had identified 180 cases and three potentially associated deaths in 34 states.
The first four patients
| Who | What happened | |
|---|---|---|
| June 1 | A woman and a man, both 20–29, who shared a cookies-and-cream bar — eight pieces and seven | She lost consciousness and control of bladder and bowel, and he took her to the emergency department, where both had generalized seizures and received benzodiazepines. She stabilized 10 hours later and was discharged. He stayed unresponsive, was intubated and admitted to intensive care, regained consciousness after 8 hours and went home after 2 days |
| June 2 | Two adolescent girls who ate a dark-chocolate bar — 15 pieces each | Within 2 hours: reduced consciousness, slowed breathing and vomiting; both had seizures (one in the ambulance). In the emergency department: racing heart, high blood pressure and intermittent muscle rigidity lasting 12 hours after eating. Both were intubated, stabilized 24 hours after eating and went home the next morning |
From one county to a national recall
| Date (2024) | Step |
|---|---|
| June 3 | Arizona's poison control centers tell the state health department, warn the public and ask clinicians to report cases |
| June 7 | FDA tells consumers not to eat, sell or serve the products |
| June 12 | CDC alerts clinicians through the Health Alert Network |
| June 19 | Arizona issues a consumer alert |
| June 27 | Prophet Premium Blends recalls all Diamond Shruumz products nationwide and stops making and distributing them |
Two more patients who needed medical care were reported to Arizona's poison centers — one of them treated two months before the investigation began — and the state used syndromic surveillance to find cases never reported to poison control. CDC's National Center for Environmental Health wrote a case definition and used the National Poison Data System to find cases across the country, alongside FDA, state and local health departments and poison centers.
What it shows
Products like these — marketed as containing mushroom-based psychoactive ingredients, and sometimes containing psychoactive substances not on the label — are increasingly available, and can cause life-threatening illness. People should stop eating Diamond Shruumz products and be cautious with any other product marketed that way. The authors also credit the long partnership between Arizona's health department and its poison control centers, which both raised the alarm fast and advised the treating doctors.
