YORK COUNTY, Pa. (WHP) — Eleven people, including children, were hospitalized Friday night after eating wild mushrooms in Peach Bottom Township, according to Delta-Cardiff Volunteer Fire Company.
Emergency dispatchers received reports around 9:27 p.m. of a "mass casualty" incident in the 200 block of Burke Road, where 11 people were sick.
The Delta-Cardiff Fire Company told CBS 21 that it responded to the scene and found only 10 patients -- the last patient, a member of the Amish family that grew ill, had traveled half a mile down Burke Road to find a phone booth in order to call 911.
Firefighters went to pick up the caller, who said he and 10 others got very sick after eating wild mushrooms they found in the woods for dinner.
Crews brought him back to the scene, and all 11 patients were taken to a hospital. The fire company was not able to confirm how many of the patients were children.
A spokesperson from Wellspan York Hospital told CBS 21 that all 11 people were treated and released overnight.
Crews were on scene for just over an hour. Pennsylvania State Police also assisted.
