Strychnine Fruit Plant
The strychnine plant is native to Australia and southern Asia. This plant’s fruit is so deadly that it’s been used to create a poison for centuries throughout the world. The poison is derived from the seeds of the strychnine fruit, and even a tiny amount can cause death.
Dried strychnine seeds can cause severe stomach pain, high blood pressure, and cardiac failure. Less severe symptoms include heightened senses of smell, touch, hearing, and vision, which have caused the seeds to be abused as a recreational drug.
That dish you’re devouring is always tastier with the knowledge that it once had the opportunity to eviscerate, sting, and/or poison you to death. With that in mind, the above list is some of Mother Nature’s finest killing machines around the world to illustrate food that bites back, and where to find it. Get ready to unhinge your jaws for some tasty, unabashed savagery.
There are some foods in the world that are poison through and through, and yet they are not only eaten by the locals and adventurous foodies but are also highly prized as delicacies. These wildly popular exotic foods have been raved about by gastronomists forever.
Eating any one of these is like playing Russian roulette: you may not die this time, but next time might prove to be your last time!
