In low doses, nutmeg produces no noticeable physiological or neurological response. Large doses of 60 g (~12 teaspoons) or more are dangerous, potentially inducing convulsions, palpitations, nausea, eventual dehydration, and generalized body pain[1] In amounts of 10-40 g (~4-8 teaspoons) it is a mild to medium hallucinogen, producing visual distortions and a distinct euphoria. According to some, the effects have a striking similarity to cannabis intoxication, except with a longer duration, and more side effects. Nutmeg contains myristicin, a weak monoamine oxidase inhibitor.

Comparisons between nutmeg intoxication and MDMA have been made, however this remains speculative.[2]. This has recently been disproved by the 2006 paper "Abuse of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt.): studies on the metabolism and the toxicologic detection of its ingredients elemicin, myristicin, and safrole in rat and human urine using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry" by Hans Maurer et al at University of Saarland. However, use of nutmeg as a recreational drug is unpopular due to its unpleasant taste and its side effects, including dizziness, flushes, dry mouth, accelerated heartbeat, temporary constipation, difficulty in urination, nausea, and panic. A user will not experience a peak until approximately six hours after ingestion, and effects can linger for up to three days afterwards.

A risk in any large-quantity (over 25 g, ~5 teaspoons) ingestion of nutmeg is the onset of 'nutmeg poisoning', an acute psychiatric disorder marked by thought disorder, a sense of impending doom/death, and agitation. Some cases have resulted in hospitalization.

Fatalities occur with lower doses with children. An 8-year-old boy who consumed just two nutmegs fell into a coma, only to die 20 hours later.[3]

The hallucination'd probably come before being very ill, or even death. Nutmegs are poisonous, and the oil of nutmeg contains myristicin, which gives the aroma and flavour. However, you could use a lot of them for cooking purposes before anything unpleasant'd happen, but if you were to inject the oil, this'd cause the above symptoms.

Oooh! There's a coincidence; I was just thinking about the same thing!!!

I've just eaten lots of blue cheese because it's the best way I know to get a good night's sleep (and 'cos I love blue cheese!). The fungus which provides the 'blue' part of the cheese is mildly hallucinogenic and is often associated with giving people 'nightmares'. However, I'm strange because I love having nightmares! In the same way (I assume) that other people get an adrenalin rush from theme park rides (which I hate), I absolutely love waking up, covered in sweat, screaming. I can't wait to fall asleep again and get back into the dream!

Since the blue cheese doesn't always 'do the trick', I was thinking about trying nutmeg instead (or, probably, as well).

For a guide to dosage (and remembering that an overdose of nutmeg can kill you), take a look at Wikipedia:

You'll find using large amounts of many herbs and spices will cause harm.

I used to sell an oil mix comprising of many herbs etc. I issued a printed advice and warning sheet with every purchase and re order. And it was not even for ingesting, just topical, bath and inhalation.

Overuse was warned against. Just because it is viewed as 'natural' doesn't mean it can't cause harm...

One of my customers told everyone she knew that the multi oil gave her sexy dreams, just by using a bit too much in a burner.

My sales went thru the roof!!!!!!

[Ice.Maiden]

Lol rabbity!! Which one was it again?? : )

You're right about "natural" things not always being safe though, and that's why even oils in burners are dropped into water, as they need to be diluted. "Essential" oils should never be rubbed on the body in their neat state.

[rabbitygirl]

Can't tell you on here icey - advertising - but it was my best seller.

It had 21 oils in a blend. 2 pages of type written notes went with it, which I had to edit regularly to get new customer feedback in.

Part of the reason oils to burn are in water is to dilute the strength of aroma but without water it would burn away too quickly as well.

A good lavender or tea tree oil can be applied neat to small areas, infrequently and outside pregnancy.

People should never underestimate the powerful effect of plants on the body, good and bad.
