Method POSSIBLE METHOD - Consumption of bitter cassava (Also Mandioca or yuca)

[Judah]

It is well known that the consumption of bitter cassava, without first extracting the yare (poison that cassava contains) can produce different symptoms in the body, from nausea, vomiting, dizziness, sleep disorders and abdominal pain a few hours after ingestion. . to the most severe forms with neurological alterations and death.

So I'm interested in discussing this possible method here.

There is a BBC article about this.

Qué es la yuca amarga que vinculan con varias muertes en Venezuela y por qué es tan peligrosa - BBC News Mundo

La yuca amarga luce idéntica a la yuca dulce pero confundirlas es muy peligroso porque contiene niveles de cianuro que pueden incluso ser mortal. En Venezuela se han vinculado varias muertes a la yuca amarga, cuyo consumo ha aumentado recientemente en ese país.

According to the article it's because of cyanide that they get those symptoms.
