Nutmeg
Nutmeg is a flavorful, low-calorie spice used in cooking to replace heavy sauces and condiments. It is packed with antioxidants that help against inflammation. But its seeds are also very rich in active chemicals, such as myristicin, that can get you high.
Its excessive consumption can cause hallucinations followed by intense nausea, stomach spams and dry mouth. The effects start in about 30 minutes and could linger on for 1 or 2 days.
Captain’s tip: A teaspoon of nutmeg is safe to add to a recipe, without experiencing any side effects.
