Do You Know Some Fruits can Poison You and Make You Sick to Death? Here are some interesting Facts about Fruits...

We do eat fruit produced from plants every day or time but we do not know the one that carries lethal poisons.

Poisons that make you sick, paralyze and even kill you are hidden in some of our favorites.

People accidentally kill themselves by ignorantly eating the wrong part of a plant or fruit. In order to ensure that this never happens to you, here is a list of poisonous fruits you have to be careful dealing with...

* Cashews




Raw cashews contain urushiol, which is the same chemical that you’d find in poison ivy. It can cause the body to have a very similar reaction to one experienced from poison oak or ivy. If a high level of urushiol is ingested, it can be deadly. Cashew poisoning is rare, but those who handle them in order to manufacture them to get the shell off sometimes experience the side-effects.

* Cherries




You can eat cherries raw, cook them, bake them, and get them tart or sweet. Despite their overall red goodness, cherries are toxic. If a cherry pip is chewed, crushed, or somehow damaged, it automatically produces hydrogen cyanide. Symptoms of mild poisoning include headache, dizziness, confusion, anxiety, and vomiting. Larger doses can lead to difficulty breathing, increased blood pressure and heart rate, and kidney failure. Reactions can include coma, convulsions, and death from respiratory arrest.

* Asparagus
