EATING MYSTERY PLANTS SAFELY

Edit section āœā†“

Iā€™m getting hungry. I have a good supply of maraka nuts here ... but are they poisonous? How do I find out?

I have to eat them. If eating this goes horribly wrong I need to be ready to ride out an illness. I am currently safe at camp. I have food and water. Time to eat mystery nuts ...

I eat one ... seems fine ... I eat more ... seems good ... more ... oh no! I have a health condition.


This disease seems fairly harmless. And I'm in good condition to begin with. Through luck and caution I ride it out easy.
