Nutmeg Can Get You Wasted

This means I'll be adding a little more to my egg nog.

This is from 'you learn something new everyday' file for me.

It does take quite a bit of nutmeg before you start feeling a bit out of it. Some of the symptoms that one can experience include dizziness, nausea, and a slowing down of normal brain functioning. People have even described an out-of-body sensation.

For more on this topic, I refer you to a New York Times piece.

In the meantime, start keeping track of the nutmeg supply in your house. If your teenagers get a hold of this info...well you know the rest.
