Re: [Biofuel] Jatropha / Toxic Properties / Micro Algae Link

[lres1]

JQ, To eat one Jatropha seed from here gives the stomach an extremely sickly feeling with vomiting and a very dizzy head. It is very similar to have ingested 8 triple whisky and sodas. Lasting effects are for no less than 8 hours. (Above ingested by accident by a moderate drinker at age 21). Best to all.
