Apple seeds contain cyanide - many plants do. Perfectly healthy levels of tannins are in loads of food. DMT is produced in every living animal, alkaloids are present in every potato and tomato.
We know not to eat tomato vines - you're concerned someone noticeably poisoned themselves from milligrams of wood dust inhalation with sweeping associations in mind. Its a flight of fancy.
I believe it is advisable though to avoid breathing much of any kind of dust, wood, graphite, talc, stone.. by avoiding breathing any where possible.
- pvaldes 8y agoThe fact that many plants were selected for hundreds of years to be more edible that their wild counterparts does not make Acacia more edible in any way. I don't know if inhalating Acacia wood dust could produce the strange effect of not being able to hold a telephone in your hands for a while, but I'm certainly sure that is a genus that evolved to use fearsome chemicals. Georgina Gidgee mess with the Krebs cycle that provides energy to the cells. My advise is still the same. Take this in mind if you want to manipulate it, and don't understimate its potential to harm you, even at sublethal doses. If you start experimenting strange sensations when you do some exotic wood work in your batcave at the basement, stop, quit the area and open the windows if you don't have an air extractor. Even if you trust the provider botanical skills and think that they never would give you a similar and cheaper species of wood by accident.
