Talk:Abrus precatorius

message: I added a citation needed and dubious tag to this sentence until it is referenced. We're talking about a deadly poison here.  Maybe doing this will detoxify the poison, but readers ought to be mighty, mighty careful about believing such a claim.--Hokeman (talk) 23:55, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Boiling the seeds in milk and drying will remove the toxic effect" claim should be treated with extreme skepticism 

message: Citations needed/citation style has to be corrected in the last para of this section. (.......In Northern India The seeds are usually used in worship of Sri Salagrama Representing Srimati Radharani[citation needed]. In the Gaudiya Vaisnava History, it is known that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Would Compare the Gunja Seeds of that to Srimati Radharani's feet.[4][5]....)

thread_title:  Citations in "Uses" section 

message: under Toxicity, the article states that 
"Ingesting the intact seeds typically results in no clinical findings, as they pass through the gastrointestinal tract due to their hard shell."
but also:
"Ingesting a single seed can kill an adult human."
it appears that the entire last paragraph of that section is unsourced. - Pikabun91 (talk) 20:41, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Conflicting information regarding ingestion of intact seeds 

message: There is a set of veterinary course notes floating around about this plant with the phrase "Treatment can be attempted with arecoline" (the stuff from betel nuts).  No other information is given.  I don't see any obvious reason why, and there are many statements there is no treatment, and I can't find anything on PubMed, and I strongly suspect this is simply a foul-up in somebody's course notes.  But if anyone happens to luck across some publication that this could treat it somehow, it would be good to add. Wnt (talk) 11:52, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: There is a "citation needed" flag in the Cultural Significance section for the line mentioning the Wang Wei poem "相思“.  Since the line is linked to the Wang Wei article which quotes the poem with citations and external sources, I am not sure how one could better cite the statement except to repeat the same references here on this page.
