[edit] Proposed Antidotes

As far as I know there are no known antidotes to Phalloidin. So I am posting this in hopes of generating some further speculation on this topic. Two points of attack that I suggest, not being hampered by much knowledge, 1)diels alder reaction with maleic acid with its indole ring, or 2)dosing with some low m.wt. component of actin. The toxicity may be intractable, these are not suggested as treatments, just unqualified academic discussion to inspire qualified academic interest.
