I agree, it takes a LOT of true nutmeg to induce toxicity. If you
consume 2 - 3 whole nutmegs on your own, sure you'll be in trouble,
but generally, Nutmeg is used in very small amounts per person and in
normal amounts you shouldn't see affects of toxicity. Not sure why
anyone would want to try large amounts. It's not particularly pleasant
tasting in high amounts.
