Are helicopter seeds bad for you?

I guess , you would probably be allright- I looked up the helicopter seeds. the silver maple has long thin helicopter seeds- and it didn’t mention anything about being toxic. boxelder has short helicopter seeds- nothing mentioned about being toxic there either. red maple has short reddish helicopter seeds- nothing mentioned about any toxic effects on that one as well.

so I would think you will be ok. NEXT QUESTION- how the heck did you manage to eat 25 of them? I ate a couple of them when I was younger- and they were so bitter that I couldn’t eat anymore, and spit them out. guess you learned not to eat helicopter seeds right? you should be ok. I would drink lots of water to maybe dilute anything bad going on- and some pepto or tums might help too. so I believe that helicopter seeds should not be eaten, but you should recover.

so far I havent found anything that says there toxic or poisonouse so they should be ok but eat small amounts of them them moniter how you feel if you feel fine then they should be ok

Haha alright! Thanks guys lol

I ate them cause I was dared to.

ok- just be careful with the dare thing, you got lucky this time. next time it might be deadly nightshade or something.

Why on earth would anyone chose to eat these in the first place???
