You can never be too careful with the foods you eat. These are just some of many common lethal foods that you should think twice before consuming.

Honey

Mushrooms
Ever heard of toadstools? They may look like edible mushrooms, but if you're in the wild avoid them at all cost as they are extremely poisonous.

This spice isn't as sweet as it sounds. Nutmeg is actually a hallucinogenic- 0.3 oz. of nutmeg if consumed, can lead to convulsions and seizures

Almonds
This nut packs a punch. When served raw, these almonds are loaded with cyanide. In order to treat for toxins the almonds must go through a specialized heat treatment.
