The Cerbera odollam earned one of its gruesome nicknames due to the fact that toxicologists believe that it's used by more people to commit suicide than any other plant on Earth.
Popular suicide method in India? I found this article pretty neat to read.
"Testing for cerberin poisoning is relatively costly and requires the use of "high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry," which isn't even a viable option in some locations. In fact, toxicologists won't perform the test unless there's already strong evidence that the victim consumed Cerbera recently."
And it's untraceable!
