Random #plant lore in the morning: calabar beans look and taste like other legumes, and are a deadly poison. They& #39;re sometimes called ordeal beans; they were used in witch trials by ordeal - if the accused survived the lethal dose (half a bean), they were found innocent #Folklore https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">

Oh, and the antidote to calabar bean poisoning? Atropine!

...

& #39;Doctor, this patient has ingested a deadly poison!& #39;

& #39;Well, let& #39;s pump them full of that other poison and make it a deathmatch.& #39;

Also, there& #39;s a rather simple way of cheating in that ordeal... If you swallow the bean whole, without chewing it first, there& #39;s a greatly increased chance of vomiting and therefore surviving the experience and proving your innocence.

The lesson here: Don& #39;t chew your toxic food.
