about 'teen ped num'(ตีนเป็ดน้ำ) fruit , it can use like herb , for induced vomit, and luxative .. but it's really harmful (dead), if eat it too much

Hi Bambina,

The fruit is indeed poisonous. Local villagers use it as poison against rats, etc..

I need 50,000+ of them. If you dry them you get the below product, probably you know that one.

On this moment I only have 5,000.

Because the fruits are not edible, there are no growers/nurseries on a large scale. Probably I have to set up collection points across Thailand.
