Nutmeg is a hallucinogen. The spice contains myristicin, a natural compound that has mind altering effects if ingested in large doses. Found that pretty interesting

See what you have done?
Now Grandma's everywhere are going to try putting extra nutmeg in their baked goods sort of like pot brownies only it's going to be overly spiced pumpkin bread.🤪

It's toxic. It can kill you in high doses, although it's extremely rare.

@CrazyMusicLover you would likely vomit before anything more serious could happen.

@samueltyler2 I remember how many many years ago my parents heard it was poisonous and started treating it like something that should be eaten only in really small amounts. 😆Another thing blown out of proportion. You'd spoil the taste of the food before anything would even happen.

Can be deadly

It probably also destroys your liver or something in large doses

I vaguely recall this being talked about during the "drug-crazed" 1960's.

Then again, back then a new rumor seemed to surface every week about something or other having the potential to get you high. Smoking banana peels was probably the most famous one!
