I want to know the answer to the following question:
Why would ingesting untreated cassava be a bad idea?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Eventually, a Taíno Cacique named Enriquillo managed to hold out in the Baoruco Mountain Range for thirteen years, causing serious damage to the Spanish, Carib-held plantations and their Indian auxiliaries.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
