  It’s not just similar, it’s the same symptom - they both kill you through damaging your cells’ ability to create proteins, radiation through damage to the DNA itself, and amatoxins from deadly mushrooms through blocking of the cell’s ability to read DNA to create mRNA, which is necessary for protein synthesis.

    How do you even treat that? Seems like a pretty permanently damaging toxin?

      The damage is permanent on a cellular level - the affected cells will either die, or in the case of radiation exposure, can become cancerous instead. If you got a small enough exposure, and immediately sought medical attention to remove the toxin from your body in the case of amatoxin ingestion, then only some cells will be affected, and maybe your organs can continue functioning and eventually recover after the affected cells die off. If the damage is significant, you might survive if you get a liver transplant and dialysis, since the liver and kidneys are the most affected due to their role in filtering and removing toxens.
