Nutmeg
In its freshly ground form (from whole nutmegs), nutmeg contains myristicin, a monoamine oxidase inhibitor and psychoactive substance. Myristicin poisoning can induce convulsions, palpitations, nausea, eventual dehydration, and generalized body pain. Rather disturbingly it was commonly used in the middle ages to induce abortions, although in what quantities is unclear.
