You might not be aware but Pong Pong seeds are in the news recently and it's quite timely for this discussion. http://abc7chicago.com/1225122/
Basically they are from an Asian plant called the suicide tree. The seeds contain a very deadly poison and have been used to commit suicide and murder before. They've now been noticed in the US with I think two teens having taken Pong Pong seeds recently (I read the original article on a different PC and it had some extra info not in the link I provided). Pong Pong seeds are known to be dangerous but are unregulated in the US and, until recently, were easy to buy on-line through Amazon and other retailers. But due to their rarity, no one in the US knows about it or even looks for it. The other article mentioned that there were only two labs in the entire country that are able to test for Pong Pong seed toxins.
