Toxic spinach: Australians experience hallucinations and delirium after eating
In Australia, toxic spinach has prompted an urgent health alert after consumers experienced severe sickness and hallucinations.
Nine people who consumed the Riviera Farms baby spinach from Costco required medical attention.
According to medical professionals, these patients have also experienced delirium, elevated heart rates, and blurred vision.
The spinach, according to Riviera Farms, was tainted by a weed, but no other products were impacted.
New South Wales Health has warned any packets of the brand’s spinach with an expiry date of December 16 are not safe to consume and should be thrown out.
It also urged anyone who has experienced any unusual symptoms after eating the spinach to immediately seek hospital care.
“No one has died, so we’re very happy with that and we hope it remains that way, but these people are quite sick… to the point of marked hallucinations, where they are seeing things that aren’t there,” Dr Darren Roberts, from the state’s Poisons Information Centre, told the Sydney Morning Herald.
A Riviera Farms spokesperson said they had taken action immediately, asking shops to remove them from shelves.
“There is no suggestion, and to our knowledge no possibility, that any other products have been impacted by this weed,” they said.
All of those affected so far are from Sydney, NSW Health said, but it has alerted authorities in other states as it investigates.

Australia promises a novel approach to the extinction crisis
The Australian government has announced that there won’t be any more species extinctions and the country will no longer be known as “the mammal extinction capital of the world.”
More than 100 endangered species, including well-known ones like the koala, will receive priority protection under new conversational tactics.
The plan includes a promise to protect a third of the continent’s land mass.
Earlier this year a report found Australia’s environment is in shocking decline.
Many native animals and plants face threats including habitat loss, invasive pests and weeds, climate change, and more frequent and destructive natural disasters.
Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek said the need for action has never been greater.
“Our current approach has not been working,” Ms Plibersek said in a statement. “We are determined to give wildlife a better chance.”
The goal to list 30% of Australia’s land as protected under national environment laws will help vulnerable species and habitats, she said.
The 10-year strategy also aims to improve resilience to climate change, build “insurance” populations of some key species in predator-free zones, and better monitor existing populations.
It calls for more efforts to reduce the impact of feral cats, foxes, and a prolific weed known as gamba grass, and to better harness Aboriginal expertise in managing the environment.
Twenty areas with high densities of threatened species will be specifically targeted. They include Kangaroo Island in South Australia and the Blue Mountains in New South Wales, which were devastated by bushfires in 2019-20.
The 110 species to be prioritised include the Australian sea lion and the rarest marsupial in the world, Gilbert’s Potoroo – of which only about 100 remain.
Ms Plibersek says the strategy is the government’s answer to the State of the Environment report, which found Australia has lost more species to extinction than any other continent.
The survey of the country’s ecological systems concluded that more than half were in a poor state.
Threats are not being adequately managed, meaning they are on track to cause more problems, it said.

Sydney United 58 supporters censured for Nazi salutes at the Australia Cup final
A senior government official has stated that fans who showed Nazi salutes and insignia during the Australia Cup final “should be banned for life.”
After initiating disciplinary proceedings, Football Australia (FA) stated that it “seriously condemns the behaviour of a small minority” of Sydney United 58 supporters.
The club said it was “concerned” by reports of the actions of supporters.
In a statement, Sydney United 58 said it had “zero tolerance towards any form of disrespect, racism or discrimination”.
The club added it would work with authorities to conduct a “full investigation”.
Supporter attempts to drown out the Indigenous welcoming ceremony prior to kick-off at Western Sydney Stadium are also being investigated.
FA said on Monday it had issued a show-cause notice to semi-professional side Sydney United 58, this requiring the club to respond before any sanctions are implemented.
The governing body added it was working with New South Wales police “to determine strong and swift action on any identified anti-social behaviour”.
Pictures on social media showed some Sydney United supporters making Nazi salutes during the match.
“It has no place, not just at sporting games, but anywhere in our state, and I know the police are looking at it,” said Perrottet.
“Those people who have done that through those salutes should be banned for life.”
The chanting and booing during the pre-match Welcome to Country – a practice of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples – will be considered as part of the FA investigation.
“The incidents last night caused by some individuals and groups in the stadium was ignorant,” said Jade North, chair of the Football Australia National Indigenous Advisory Group (NIAG).
“This type of behaviour was disrespectful and must not continue in our game and attitudes must change.”
The first non-A-League side to reach the final, Sydney United 58, formerly known as Sydney Croatia, lost 2-0 to Macarthur FC in front of a crowd of 16,461 on Saturday.
“The club is deeply committed to creating an environment that is respectful and inclusive, which allows our community members to celebrate their heritage in a meaningful and responsible way,” the club’s board said.
“Those that do not align themselves with these values are not welcome at Sydney United 58 FC and their views will never be tolerated.”
FA said eight people were evicted during the match “to address some isolated behaviours by a small minority of individuals”.
