Eulodia Dagua, "Newborn Child Dies Like the Snake His Father Killed."
This video illustrates how, in Quichua thinking, the human body is physically connected to the bodies of people and animals with who it is related. In an interview with Tod Swanson Eulodia Dagua tells how her newborn son died with the same bodily movements as those of a dying snake killed by the child's father six days after the birth.

18. Eulodia Dagua, "Red Mushroom Woman Give a Rash."
A mother leaves a child home alone to bring the child food from her garden. But when she returns to feed the child the baby is not hungry. "A grandma came to feed me mushrooms the baby girl would say. This happened over and over. The child also developed a diaper rash. So the mother pretended to go out to her garden. Instead she hid in the bushes to watch. After a little while she saw a small old lady red with rash come scratching herself all over. The woman opened a leaf packet of tiny red mushrooms that resembled the rash on the old lady's skin. After opening the packet she sat the child on top of the small red mushrooms . The baby began to scratch all over. Then the mother knew why the baby was never hungry and why she had the rash. It was the Forest Spirit Mushroom who came to her as the old lady.
