After reading several different questions about "why not just eat the seeds" when making the tea, and not finding any satisfactory answers (it seemed to me stomach acid could substitute for lemmon juice, and I downed about 5 twenty gram bottles (if that's how many grams are in your "average size spice jar that costs about 4.00 in the USA).
Anyway, I didn't notice a thing, and after waiting for three or four hours, I gave up, and went to bed. I must say the only answer that intrigued me was Bi11i's - something about eating them causing a liver problem, but everyone seemed to react as though they believed that was just Bi11i's individual health problem, or something (with answers like "have you tried milkethistle"? etc. And Bi11i didn't seem to want to get into the specifics. If the same thing happened to me (or something similar) I know just what Bi11i meant and I would advise anyone in the future - DON'T EAT THE SEEDS!!! After sleeping a couple of hours I woke up and barely made it to the bathroom for a projectile vomit fest that lasted all day and night long. I would take a cap full of water to try and rehydrate, and end up throwing up gallons of bile and poppy seeds, poppy seeds, more and more poppy seeds. My stomach felt as though someone had lit a campfire on hot coals and was trying to roast thousands of hot poppy seeds. My liver felt like it was being sanded by the little evil seeds. I even had some kind of dream, between throwing up and exaustion about some "demon seed" that was "poppy seeds". I have not felt that sick in about two weeks (but the time before it was food poisoning, and even so, there wasn't so much bile and burining and my liver didn't seem so involved). It definitely felt like food poisoning PLUS. Plus I am not sure what - direct liver poisoning, sort of like what happens with a hangover, but without any relief whatsoever coming from throwing up. It was miserable. I considered the hospital a couple of times, but my pupils were fairly normal and my breathing was fine, and I know my tolerance is much higher than average. In fact, my body metabolizes most substances (with the unfortunate exception of food) at a rate the doctors can't even understand. Novacaine doesn't work because I need literally at least ten shots for me to not feel the nerves around one tooth for about thirty seconds, and yet ironically I have a high pain tolerance.
So,the moral of my story is if you are thinking about eating those damn things think again; It should only be used for extreme torture, or perhaps an initiation into being allowed to have the priveledge of posting here.
I am not sure what I put my body through. I am just praying that I didn't do any permanent damage to my liver. It's taken three days to fully recover,and I NEVER EVER want to go through that again - especially for nothing, not even the slightest buzz.
There must be a very good reason for not eating the seeds, and I think I found it, - because before this extreme eating, I could eat handfuls all day long. Not for me anymore thanks - but please pass the milkthistle!
