Jatropha Curcas Seeds Can Kill
As important as Jatropha Curcas oil has become as a biodiesel fuel,
the plantations that are growing and developing Jatropha will have to
have a safety protocol for Jatropha nuts and seeds. The one draw back
or negative characteristic for Jatropha Curcas is the seeds are poisonous.
Unfortunately, deaths have occurred, especially in children that have
eaten Jatropha seeds, usually by mistake thinking they were other nuts
like cashews. Not only death, but serious illness has occurred when
children have consumed Jatropha seeds.
