    The symptoms of poisoning caused by bitter almonds are mild to severe. On the one hand, it is related to the consumption, and the more bitter the almonds, the greater the toxicity. On the other hand, the human body contains specific enzymes that can convert a small amount of cyanide ions into non-toxic thiocyanide compounds, which are excreted by the kidneys, but this detoxification ability varies from person to person, and there are strengths and weaknesses.
