Someone's just forwarded by FB this notification of deadly beans being used in trendy bracelets - watch out that nobody you know has one!

PS, the other notice I've seen says that the dangerous substance in these beans is similar to ricin, 3 micrograms of the stuff can potentially kill you.

yep - unlike 99.9% of these facebook circulars,

THIS IS NOT A HOAX ...

< which shows the damage that all the others have done, because my absolute first instinct was to disbelieve it - 'boy crying wolf' syndrome ahoy >

Rowan, I was pretty much thinking the same. I know a particular slave to fashion who I'm sure would just love one.... ;)

Hope flobadob doesnt see this. He will be getting one for his ebay seller in the far east.

If it helps keep someone safe (apart from rowan's targets, that is....)

My dad let me know about this as they were being sold at the Eden Project (which we recently visited, and he was concerned that the girls might have them).

I thought of you, sher, when I read that DM article - I wasn't sure if you'd actually been.
