This
baking spice with a bite is well known in the medical
community to be a narcotic. In large doses it can be
hallucinogenic. In even larger doses, it is fatal.
Today,
we love nutmeg for its scent, which evokes all the warmth
and comfort of home, of fresh baked spice cake, long
winter nights by the fire, snowstorms and sleigh rides.
Nutmegs connection with the comforts of the kitchen
and of Mom perhaps explain why it's known to have more
effect on men than on women!
