Dude,

Don't do it!!!  The last time I thought to myself 'I'll risk it - it'll
be fine' was some pickled lotus root I added to a thai curry.  I threw
up so hard that I hemorrhaged in my eyes, I coughed up pick foamy sputum
(from hemorrhages in my throat), had petechiae all over my face and I
found out later that I cracked a rib...

It's not worth it...

Drakey.
