The Eden project in Cornwall, UK is one of 36 retailers that has sold a bracelet made from the highly toxic Jequirity Bean...just saw a message about it on my facebook (and yes i have made sure it isn't a hoax !!)...
[i'>The Eden Project in Cornwall is one of 36 retailers urging customers to return the red and black bracelets made from the Jequirity bean, the deadly seed of the plant abrus precatorious. It contains the toxin abrin, a controlled substance under the Terrorism Act that if swallowed can kill in doses of just 3 micrograms. Abrin is chemically similar to ricin, a chemical warfare agent and the poison used by the Bulgarian secret police to assassinate dissident Georgi Markov with a pellet-tipped umbrella. However, it is far more toxic, and can kill in doses 75 times smaller. People who have bought the bracelets are being urged to bag them and then wash their hands and avoid touching their eyes. The Eden Project alone sold 2,800 bracelets over a year[/i'>
