Cherry seeds??

[meowmeowkitty]

So we all know cherry seeds have cyanide but would it be possible to blend up some seeds and mix it in with a drink? would that even be fatal? and how much cyanide is in each seed; just started thinking about this method while eating some cherries lol :3

Not sure if this is 100% accurate but there are a few articles that state this.

"The average human body can tolerate up to 50mg of cyanide before it can become toxic. The average cherry pit contains around 3.5mg of amygdalin. So you would need to eat around 14 cherry pits for it to be considered a lethal dose."

Not sure if it needs to a be a certain type of cherry ... or if you just end up puking...

You'd need a lot of seeds and probably the result will only be sickness. Search the net, it's possible to produce KCN from totally harmless chemicals in a test tube at home.

I don't know whether it's allowed to post the process here, I guess not. It can be found easily online, searching with appropriate keywords.

I think you would need around 60 cherry seeds to reach lethal dose, but it also depends on your body's tolerance to cyanide. Anyway, cyanide poisoning is a very painful way to die to consider it haha
