How can nutmeg kill you?

While nutmeg can be poisonous in large quantities, it is unlikely to cause death. There have been instances where overdose led to unpleasant experiences and required medical consultation, but such cases are extremely rare as it would require extremely high ingestion, in some instances more than 1 ounce (28 gms), which becomes challenging due to its unpleasant, spicy, warm, and somewhat bitter flavor profile.
