Résumé

Nutmeg is a frequently used spice all over the world since centuries. It is the seed of a tree (Myristica fragrans, Family Myristicaceae) which can grow 10 to 20 meters high, and was discovered by the Portuguese in 1512 [1]. It is used grated in small quantities to season many dishes (meat, soup, cocktails etc.). When ingested in large quantities, it has been reported to have toxic effects such as tachycardia, nausea, vomiting, agitation, hallucinations and more generally anticholinergic symptoms
