The indigenous people of America used their poisons to put them in their arrowheads and contaminate the water supply to the Spanish invaders

Although there have been no newly reported cases of anyone dying from eating innocent-looking fruits if you were to bite down the sweet taste would quickly turn into extremely painful .
