Method Possible new method: Cherry pits cyanide poisoning

[First loss]

So, I read this article about a man getting hospitalized for eating the seed inside the cherry pits. He got hospitalized for consuming two of them and almost died.

A man ate three cherry pits. Then he got cyanide poisoning and almost died - National | Globalnews.ca

"If something was that severe you'd think it'd be on the packaging."

www.google.com

I did some research and it's true. Cherry pits are not lethal when swallowed if they are not damaged. If they are cracked open, the cyanide inside becomes poisonous as soon as it touches air.

Having that in mind, one could possibly ctb if he has consumed enough cherry pits to take him down.

I did some research about the dose of the pits that need to be taken and this came out:

Googling, we found that hydrogen cyanide is lethal at about 1.52 milligrams per kilogram, meaning that it takes little more than 0.1 grams (a dime weighs about one gram) of the toxin to dispatch a 150-pound human. A single cherry yields roughly 0.17 grams of lethal cyanide per gram of seed, so depending on the size of the kernel, ingesting just one or two freshly crushed pits can lead to death.

As per lostallhope.com, cyanide poisoning has a high mortality rate, but is also very painful.

Thank you for reading. If I got anything wrong feel free to tell me.

i read you need more like 30 seeds to die from it. Also can do it with apricot kernels as well. I see big bags of it being sold online. I wanna hear more discussion about this.

 

[GeorgeJL]

Id as well buy some hemlock seeds and plants that and then wait a year or two and juice it. That is what Socrates used to kill himself reletively painlessly.

 

[Foreverburied]

Yeah, my cousin died from this.

Yes thats certainly possible. But the problem with toxic plants is that they are often very painful too.

Apricot kernels are used as part of an anti cancer regiment. I used to eat them for health, I had a friend who would sell them. Eaten a dozen or so in a sitting and no problem whatsoever.

So we can rule out an apricot. Okay.

how reliable is this anti-cancer treatment? i looked it up and pretty much every online website calls it "quackery". but I also hear good things, I don't know who to believe. Then again I wouldn't expect anything mainstream to acknowledge natural cures that don't make the drug cartels any money.

I have no idea.

Only that it's not a way to die.

But if op's info is accurate, you have to crush the seeds to activate the cyanide. So eating intact seeds wouldn't be an issue

 

[Empty Smile]

Apple seeds are lethal too. Except you'll need thousands of them to make a good dose of cyanide.

Well they are crushed when chewed... also I had a recipe book that had recipes with heaps of them blended and stuff. People don't die off it, I'm sure of this.

Unless maybe consuming like a kg of them or something.

Did you really?

I have already tried this. I bought almost 50 apricots from the grocery store and spent the whole afternoon digging out kernels. I crushed them in a blender, swallowed the powdered apricot kernels down with a slushy and some apple juice, and it did nothing.

 

[Melkus2020]

If you wanted to did by cherry pits to need to put over 50 of them into a blender. Turn into a liquor and maybe flavor it with koolaid. Then strain it out and chug. You will certainly die.

We don't really know if we can confirm that as true since it's one comment on the internet

Then try it yourself. Buy 50 apricots, dig out the kernels, crush them and then swallow them down. Nothing will happen

Can I ask how long ago you tried this?

 

[a.n.kirillov]

Hemlock or N. If you go with hemlock you need to do it in a cellar and recite the death of Socrates aloud with a laurel wreath and a robe while your Bros sit around you and weep; then you need to tell them to get their shit together.

 

[TheSuicidalEccentric]

Early January. I did the same thing; searched online and saw articles about "apricot kernels can kill you." Hell, I even drank three cups of antifreeze four months ago and it did nothing to me. The Internet is truly full of bullshit

 

[BPD Barbie]

Cyanide is not like its portrayed on TV as quick and fairly painless. It's very painful, very. Not a way I would like to go, but interesting discovery none the less. Who knew cherries were so deadly.

Have you ever observed a cyanide suicide? The two videos widely shown on the internet just kind of show instant collapse

I realize that the type of cyanide and dose probably make that vary a lot though

I worked as a paramedic before I was ill. Saw first hand the painful experience of cyanide. Don't trust everything you see online ;)

This.

Never trust anything online. I have first-hand experience of many different suicide attempts, and the net is full of horseshit

I have no way if you're telling the truth or are a scaremonger though, as those kinds of people proliferate in suicide discussions

I guess if I proved you wrong and tried 30 cherry pits or apricot pits I'd be dead too soon to really counteract that claim

And it would not be the thing I'd want to think about as I was dying

I don't believe you

Where did these people get cyanide?

Were they still conscious when you got to them?

You don't have to believe me lol. That's up to you. Not sure why I'd lie but OK. I have no idea where they got it, didn't cross my mind to ask at the time. They were in cardiac arrest.

I have no reason to lie at this point in my shitty life. You don't have to try what I tried if you don't want to. Hell, maybe my body just reacts differently and yours could react differently too. I don't know, man. I'm just sharing my personal, true experience with this shit

Were they sweet or bitter apricot kernels?

I mean you could still just be some person on the internet who wants to discourage this method of suicide (or suicide in general) for some reason

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

Good to know and thanks for sharing this.

 

[Melkus2020]

I calculated it and it takes eighteen cherry pits to become mildly lethal. What I want to know is how to make it a more potent death potion.
