Can raw green beans be poisoned?

Our school has a group poisoning incident today. The result of the final investigation was that the green beans were not cooked. Will eating green string beans really cause poisoning?

    Eating raw string beans is poisonous, because raw string beans contain toxic substances-toxic protein and saponin. If they are not cooked well, people will be poisoned 1 to 5 hours after eating. In severe cases, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
