Abstract
The toxicities of histamine and phenylethylamine in the rotten matsutake mushrooms were already reported in the last paper Part 7. Now kittens were used to make it sure how histamine and phenylethylamine would cause animals to vomit.
1) Kittens vomited immediately after histamine was given through their mouths, the least necessary quantity being 15mg/kg.
2) Phenylethylamine had nothing to do with the vomit. But it caused a delatation of kitten's eyes, the degree of which varied on the quantity of phenylethylamine.
These symptons were acute and did not last long.
