1. Castor Oil
Castor oil comes from the castor bean plant, which also happens to contain the poison ricin. While castor oil is known for it’s benefits as a laxative and for skin and hair care, it’s important to use with caution. The main danger is in the beans. It only takes about 8 beans to kill an adult. Luckily, there are many safety guidelines in place for the production of castor beans.
2. Octopus
Not just any octopus…live octopus! It’s true; in some parts of the world, people eat octopus alive. Leaving all else aside, this practice can be quite dangerous as the suckers can get stuck in your throat and cause asphyxiation.
