You must read this.

Did you know that almonds are seeds and not nuts?

Have you heard that 1 castor bean can kill a man (while 4 can kill a horse)?

Anyway, they are on the list of top 10 poisonous foods we love.
I knew about mushrooms (toadstools), rhubarb & puffer fish,
but not the others ... elderberry, cherries, potatoes, tomatoes, apples.
Excellent information.

To Greener Bangalore,
A little nutty, huh? Lol!
I enjoy dropping by your blog to check out your latest photos and folktales [my favourite]. Keep up the good work.

To Rachelle T,.
Thank you for taking the time to comment. It is amazing all the stuff we don't know about. I always believe that God protects us from so much that we don't even know could potentially harm us.

To Darsden,
Thank you for such kind words & you are most welcome to my blog. I will certainly visit your page which I already peaked at- lol!

To Greener Bangalore,
You have a vibrant & funny personality - that's great.

To Wendy,
Your comment made me see this post with a different spin- I liked that. I haven't even read your blogs & I'm hooked. All In A Day's Thought, Psalm 71 has already begun to stir me up & you've definitely inspired a new thought for me. Stay blessed.
