Nutmeg: Silent but Deadly
I was talking to a guy last night who claimed that eating too much nutmeg made him hallucinate. Being half skeptic and half jackass I didn't believe him. I checked out his story in Wikipedia, and low and behold, he's right...(unless he wrote the Wiki article yesterday when he got home...) From the Wikipedia article: "Large doses of 7.5 g or more are dangerous, potentially producing convulsions, palpitations, nausea, eventual dehydration, and generalized body pain. In amounts of 10 g or more it is a mild to medium hallucinogen, producing visual distortions and a mild euphoria similar to that derived from Marijuana. However, use of nutmeg as a recreational drug is unpopular, due to the potential painful physical side effects, the risk of Nutmeg Psychosis (see below) and the inconventiently long span for which the effects of a single dose can persist."
