St. Anthony's Fire, also known as ergotism, is an acute infectious disease caused by eating rye or other grain contaminated with fungi of the genus Claviceps. These fungi contain alkaloids that can cause severe adverse reactions in humans. Symptoms range from burn-like skin lesions to more serious neurological disorders. The disease is associated with vascular complications such as gangrene due to vascular edema and impaired blood microcirculation. The main clinical manifestations include severe pain, redness and swelling of the skin, and in severe cases, the need for amputation of the affected limbs. St. Anthony's Fire typically affects people with a low standard of living, poor nutrition, and lack of access to medical care.<\/p>\n
