                                Case studies confirm that consuming bitter almonds can lead to a rapid and life-threatening form of cyanide poisoning. Almond poisoning, therefore, is not a typical digestive issue but a serious and potentially fatal medical emergency caused by the amygdalin found in certain almond varieties, particularly bitter almonds.
