1.4mg of cyanide per almond.
.5mg per kg of weight. (136kg)
That equates to about 48.5 bitter almonds in one sitting to ctb.
The reason you can't find bitter almonds in the states is that it is fairly easy to accidentally go over a safe threshold. small children can ingest lethal amounts in as few as 10 almonds.
40 almonds nearly killed a woman in a study I was reading - might have succeeded had she not gone to the hospital. (Funny enough, they gave her SN to cure the cyanide?)
Either way, I ordered about 2lbs of bitter almonds, and I'm considering how to prepare them. I also want to do about 70, just in case.
Any concerns about chopping or blending them into a smoothie or something? Or that maybe the milk in a smoothie would somehow make it less potent?
