A Morel Dilemma: Bonus — The Bradford Hill Criteria & The Morel

from The Poison Lab

In Episode 5, we put the morel mushroom on trial. This bonus episode shows how we built the case.Dr. Grant Comstock joins me for the full, unfiltered causation breakdown using the Bradford Hill criteria, a public health framework used to separate true causation from simple association. We walk through the CDC data step by step, looking at strength of association, timing, dose response, plausibility, consistency, specificity, and the places where the morel theory starts to strain.This is the deeper dive behind the trial: how toxicologists stress-test an outbreak theory when there is no smoking gun, no known toxin, and no easy answer.Select referencesCDC Bozeman Montana Outbreak DataRyan's paper on the Bradford hill criteria in EVALIA Morel DilemmaSupport the showReview the show where ever your listeningGet Messages from Toxo (Join the Newsletter!)Join as a supporting memberAd free episodesBonus content and early accessDiscounts and give aways on GOTA PICCEM Mushroom card gameThe GOTTA PICCEM Poisonous Mushroom Game!The Poisonus Fungus Amongus Children's Book!Full book reading (6 minutes!)Tox trinkets (Rep the show at home!)Reach the showEmail: [email protected] Show ResourcesRyan's Medical Games and ResourcesShow Website
