they might give you a long day on the porcelain throne, but unless you eat a couple pounds, unless they are contaimated with a seriously bad type of fungi, i doubt they will kill you.\n\nbut soaking them for a while like earlier suggested was a great idea!

I am fairly sure that you would have to swallow a bit more than just a little bit off your face before it will do any harm. They do say to keep out of reach of children, obviously so they don't eat it,  so if you are still concerned you should contact your poison information centre for some advice!

Human health \n\nEating clams, mussels, oysters or scallops contaminated by red tide can cause severe illness and even death to humans. Federal regulations now require toxin monitoring programs that are implemented during red tide outbreaks. While some illnesses related to shellfish consumption occur, the highly cautionary regulations have been quite effective. \n\nAerosols from red tides can produce respiratory ailments. However, no studies have been done to determine if there are long-term consequences of inhaling potent neurotoxins from algae. Also, it is difficult to assess long-term effects of acute exposure among tourists who leave the area. \n===============================================\n\nPlease see a doctor right away! In the mean time, don't eat any sea creatures and protect yourself from common colds. The treatment that I found includes infussion of antibiotics and being in an oxygen tank.\n\nGood luck!

All diomonds have very high contents of Carbon, By far the hardest material, uncut and unpolished diomonds are not injurious to health, Polished daimonds are known to cause nausea when u lick them. But nowhere is death a reality,\nThere used to be doimonds coated with Viper or Cobra poison on the rings of the queens and princesses of India, and they were supposed to lick it,  to cause death in case of an eventuality of conquer.

It's usually not lethal to humans, but it "produces excruciating pain and swelling that lasts for several months. The pain is so excruciating that the victim is rendered almost helpless. The venom can be lethal to dingos, dogs and smaller domestic animals."\n\nNever would have thought a cute oddball like the platypus could be so painful...

NO!!!! \n\nDo NOT take Euclayptus oil internally!!!!!\n\n\n That stuff is poisonous. More than a teaspoon or two will make your seriously ill and quite possibly kill you.\n\nPure means pure, unmixed, refined. It does not mean safe. You can get pure arsenic and pure dogshit as well. That doesn't mean those things are safe for human consumption.

I used to work in an animal colony taking care of monkeys. They masturbate and throw their feces at you all day! they are easily the most disgusting animal on the planet! I think it's JUST FINE for a vegetarian to eat the little buggers nuts! I'd cut them off myself!

The poison from the skin of the world's most poisonous known creature-the tiny, 1.5-inch, Golden Poison Frog (Phyllobates terribilis)-kills the monkey.\n\nAn average P. terribilis contains about one milligram of poison, which is enough to kill 10,000 mice-perhaps enough to kill 10 to 20 humans if the poison reaches their bloodstreams.\n\nThis extraordinarily lethal poison (a steroid alkaloid, called batrachotoxin) almost does not occur in nature. We have found this poison only among three poison frogs in Colombia and two poison birds in Papua, New Guinea.\n\nThe yellow frog stores the poison in skin glands, as do most frogs. Due to their poison, frogs taste awful to predators but P. terribilis' poison kills whatever eats it-except for a snake (Liophis epinephelus). This snake is resistant to the frog's poison but not immune.\n\n"We fed one juvenile frog to a snake and the snake showed great distress and was rendered helpless for several hours," says John Daly, chief of the National Health Institute's bioorganic chemistry laboratory.\n\nThe poison frogs are perhaps the only creatures immune to this poison. The poison attacks the sodium channels of the cells. Through the ages, the clever frog has evolved special sodium channels that the poison can not harm.

Sometimes the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree.

Like, calories? You want to consume it? Why? I think it's poisonous. Don't do it. And sorry if that isn't a good answer, I'm failing chemistry.

Urushiol-induced contact dermatitis (also Toxicodendron dermatitis and Rhus dermatitis) is the medical name given to allergic rashes produced by urushiol oil contained in various plants. This includes the genus Toxicodendron (including poison-ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac), as well as other plants in the family Anacardiaceae (mango, Rengas tree, Burmese lacquer tree, India marking nut tree, and the shell of the cashew nut), and even unrelated plants such as Ginkgo biloba.\n\nThe American Academy of Dermatology estimates that there are up to 50 million cases of urushiol-induced dermatitis annually in the United States alone, accounting for 10% of all lost-time injuries in the United States Forest Service. Poison-oak is a significant problem in the rural western and southern U.S., while poison-ivy is most rampant in the eastern U.S. Dermatitis from poison sumac is not common, but it heavily impacted construction work on Disney World in Florida.\n\nClick the link to see a picture.

No they are not dangerous, they just freak the holy begebies out of most people.\n\nThey are not poisonous. They will bite if handled improperly (and it will hurt), just wash the bite with soap and warm water.  They eat plants.\n\nFollow link for description of them.

The poison needs to get into the blood stream, it's actually safe to eat and they use it to kill parasites. I've seen a guy preparing darts then liking it off his fingers. After that they went hunting and the darned things killed monkeys in a few seconds.\n\nIt's also a bit like eating that blowfish sushi, you don't get enough poison in the bit you are eating to do you any harm.

According to Wikipedia, all parts of a philodendron are poisonous.

Poison will cause ill effects whomever drinks it. There\nonce was a (so-called) preacher (Jim Jones) who took all his congregation to an island, fed them poison, and they all died. The people were innocent, but the preacher was a devil in disguise, and fooled the people into following him. It\nwas a very sad case.
