Episode notes
There’s been some social media talk about a psychoactive mushroom that causes visions of small people, like the Lilliputians from Gulliver’s Travels. This is a rare but real phenomenon with several causes. Dr. Sydnee talks about the documented experiences of seeing these little guys, where they comes from, and what is happening in the brain to cause this.
