Re: What is it?

Some people may be more sensitive to it than others. One of my daughters-in-law is very allergic to nutmeg and also to cinnamon. She can't eat any amount of anything with either one. I think she is allergic to one other spice also but I can't recall at the moment which one.

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.
