Consistently with its action as agonist at the nicotinic receptors, it targets the peripheral and central nervous systems <B>causing for example dizziness, salivation, increased heart rate and blood pressure</B>."<br /><br />* http://www.efsa.europa.eu/EFSA/efsa_locale-1178620753812_1211902521498.htmBixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263963508785739508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472697.post-35165856051186465572009-05-14T16:42:00.000-04:002009-05-14T16:42:00.000-04:00Jim, what kind of mushrooms do you use?Jim, what kind of mushrooms do you use?Bixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263963508785739508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472697.post-73755651927608114592009-05-13T08:47:00.000-04:002009-05-13T08:47:00.000-04:00And, of course, I've been making Mark Bittmann's m...And, of course, I've been making Mark Bittmann's mushroom-barley soup a lot lately.Jim Donahuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04140325442403671800noreply@blogger.com
