  • Aside from the many poisonous foods, there are several edible items that can cause illness or death under the right circumstances.

The article from Yahoo Lifestyle discusses eight common foods that can be dangerous or even deadly if not handled or prepared correctly. These include raw red kidney beans, which contain a toxin that can cause severe gastrointestinal issues if not cooked properly; raw cashews, which can be toxic due to the presence of urushiol, the same chemical found in poison ivy; and unpasteurized milk and cheese, which can harbor harmful bacteria like listeria, salmonella, and E. coli. Other foods listed are raw or undercooked eggs, which can contain salmonella; raw meat and poultry, which can also carry salmonella and E. coli; certain types of mushrooms, like the death cap, which are highly poisonous; raw cassava, which contains cyanide; and bitter almonds, which also contain cyanide and can be fatal if consumed in large amounts. The article emphasizes the importance of proper food handling, cooking, and preparation to avoid serious health risks.
