Hey plant twitter! Are there any examples of plants that taste good but will kill you? Or even make you very sick? Just plants, not fungi.

Yes, that one's pretty well established. You have to eat a lot, though! Also, l don't think people are at risk from the actual licorice root, just the candy.

You could probably get enough of the substance from liquorice tea if it was strong? Either way, you do have to have quite a bit of it (or a serious predisposition to hyperkalemia) for it to be an issue I believe

Nutmeg is poisonous in high quantities, but you'd have to really love the stuff to actually ingest enough to cause harm (most people try it as an alternative to recreational drugs I think)https://emj.bmj.com/content/22/3/223 …

The article says it causes potassium levels to fall, so hypokalemia. Which is strange because I always thought it was high in potassium.
