A lot of things sold online can stop your heart.

A reasonable person wouldn't expect honey to stop their heart though.

  • I suspect if you're buying mad honey that's collected wild on cliff faces and then imported from Nepal, it is likely pretty clear to whoever got it that it is special.

    Maybe kid could accidentally get a hold of it, or other adults that didn't buy it. However, from the article (as far as I could get before the ads locked me out) there is a type that tends to have this happen to them (middle aged men IIRC). So it seems to be intentional.

  • Then again, many reasonable people would avoid, rather than specifically seek to buy raw honey from India (or the vicinity).

Name a few. I want to be an informed person.

  • Tobacco can make you really sick if ingested.

    Anything distilled may contain methanol.

    Mushrooms can be a different type than what’s on the label.

    Fermented products may contain poisons from dangerous bacteria. If you’ve heard about entire churches full of people dying in South America from bad food, it most likely fermented corn.

    Expired food products may be contaminated with bacteria. (Unless they canned, jarred, or too dry Etc.)

    Fresh apples may contain enough pesticide to make you sick. Wipe them off with a paper towel before use if you’re not peeling them.

  • * Sibutramine (weight loss medication)

    * Suldenafil or tadalafil (ED medication)

    * SARMS (steroids in general)

    * Caffeine powder (another game of guess the dosage)

    • > * Caffeine powder (another game of guess the dosage)

      I found a study saying "the caffeine content in tested dietary supplements is 4–35% higher than the declared amount in most cases" which doesn't seem very dangerous.

      You can overdose on caffeine in other ways, of course.

  • The dose makes the poison, or something like that.

    - Sand (inhaled)

    - Air (intravenous)

    - Blood thinners or rat poison
