If the seeds are chewed or crushed, it releases Abrin. Abrin bonds to cell membrane and prevents protein synthesis by inactivating the 26s subunit of the ribosome. It takes less than 0.00015% of the toxin to kill a human.                                        The Suicide Tree:   Cerbera odollam, commonly known as the suicide tree, pong pong and othalanga is a plant species native to India.

Some researchers claim that the screening tests could cut the number of cancer deaths by as much as 40 percent in the near term, rising to 90 percent if the devices reach maximum sensitivity.             The tests, which are known as liquid biopsies and flag up tiny fragments of tumour DNA that leak into the blood-stream as cancer cells die, cou8ld become a part of routine health checks within five years, according to one academic.             Others believe that it will take longer to overcome a host
