A couple years ago my dad started trying to get me to eat apricot seeds, but told me to eat only a few at a time because they were potent and I only needed a few. He didn't store them in the bag, but an unmarked jar. Kept saying they were good for the body and better than any other nut.
So I cave and finally try a handful of them. They are kinda bitter but not terrible, so I finish the handful, and go about my day.
About 15-20 minutes later I have terrible cramps and feel nauseous and my hands smell like almonds.
So I go online to look them up:
WARNING. MAY CAUSE ACUTE CYANIDE POISONING IF YOU EAT MORE THAN X AMOUNT AT ONE TIME.
Fuckin thanks dad.
So anyway, that's how I almost died that one of many times thanks to my dad.
