Actress, 33, dies after consuming frog venom at spiritual cleansing retreat in Mexico

An actress died during a bizarre spiritual cleansing ritual at a retreat in Mexico, when she took the venom of an Amazonian frog and suffered severe vomiting while being denied medical treatment, report said.

Marcela Alcázar Rodríguez, 33, died on Dec. 1 after ingesting Kambo — a gluey, poisonous substance produced on the skin of the Amazon’s giant monkey frog — during a toxin cleansing ritual in Durango.

Though Rodríguez suffered a sever reaction to the poison, she initially was denied medical attention by the retreat before finally being taken to a Red Cross hospital, where she died, witnesses said, according to local reports.

The Attorney General’s Office of the State of Durango has launched an investigation into the actress’ death as authorities searched for the shaman who ran the retreat.

**SNIP**

Kambo is a traditional medicine used by indigenous tribes of South America. It’s poison is harvested by locals who capture frogs and place them bound near a fire, causing the stressed-out frogs to secrete the kambo from their skin.

A patient’s skin is gently burned and the toxin then applied to the wound, which causes immediate and severe short-term symptoms including projectile vomiting, diarrhea, increased heart rate and a swollen face.

Other than that, you'll be fine. Always trust your shaman.

Search on Youtube for “Ron White Shaman” for the Joe Rogan interview regarding his experience to quit drinking.

If you go to Mexico, don’t drink the water.

Or the gluey poison secreted by tortured frogs.

diarrhea, increased heart rate and a swollen face.

Already get that already, depending on the Mexican dish's Scoville Scale. But the only toxin I ingest with the food is 100% de agave.

Rogan is always peddling this nonsense. Makes him unwatchable sometimes. He and Graham Hancock degenerate into this crap all the time. I liked it better when he talked about ancient civilizations.

In the backward culture, projectile vomiting, and diarrhea is toxin cleansing. Was that any different in principle from bulemia, or giant cleansing enemas? One step away from basal living, jungle existence. Overall, after seeing people rant on the net, Kamalas word salads, and events like this being reported makes me realize a significant amount of the 8 billion people on this planet are mentally impaired.
