Who would win a fight between an actual Irishman and an actual Buckeye?
What happens if you eat buckeye nuts?
Buckeye nuts are edible if you prepare them properly. But they can lead to serious health problems if you eat them without preparing or cooking. Let’s see what happens when you eat buckeye nuts without any preparation.
Vomiting and diarrhea:
Raw and undercooked buckeye nuts are not safe for the digestive system. Buckeye nuts have tannic acid that can lead to the malfunction of the digestive system. So, they can cause vomiting and diarrhea.
Moreover, overeating buckeye nuts will cause vomiting and diarrhea.
Paralysis and life loss:
It’s not compulsory that the buckeye nut will cause paralysis and life loss to whoever eats it. A well-cooked buckeye nut will not cause any harm to humans. But raw buckeye nuts can cause paralysis and life loss in severe conditions.
Eating too much buckeye nuts can also lead to these conditions. Moreover, any other parts of this plant can be so poisonous that they can hurt you.
Breakage of teeth:
Raw buckeye nuts are super hard. They can even break your teeth also. So, you must eat the buckeye nuts after cooking or roasting. Moreover, you need to peel off the shells before eating.
