Some tribes filter the poison in Amanita mushrooms through the kidneys of reindeer, and drink the urine. And no leprechauns. Gotta pick your poison, I guess.

The early Jesuits had a snail Ceremony. They have found evidence of this in their ancient frescos. To filter the roughness on the stomach they would let snails eat the Amanita Muscaria and then eat the snails.

I often wonder if this is why the medieval paintings of knights battling snails was so popular.
