Cashews and mangoes are related to the poison ivy plant. They contain the oil urushiol, which causes the terrible long lasting poison ivy rash. Cashew shells contain the oil, which is why you never see the shell. Roasted cashews are safe. Mangoes contain the oil on their surface. Those small shiny beads of sap where the fruit was plucked from the stem, contain urushiol.

Brazil nuts used to be called by a derogatory name, N-word toes for their size and dark color.


Sadly, that is what they were called where I grew up.

I don't think it was a regional name that is what they were called when I was a kid in Western Canada.

Same with what the people I grew up with called black folks back in the day.

What has changed?

Unfortunately, the Brazil insurrectionists destroyed millions of dollars in relics and art. At least we didn't have that here.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?
