Myrcine in large doses can be toxic to the body, causing:

• nausea;
• heart problems.

Bay leaf

Bay leaf is another common herb that is often used to flavor soups, sauces, and meat dishes.

However, if bay leaves are left in a dish for too long or too much is added, it can cause the meat to become bitter and inedible.

Moreover, bay leaves contain a substance that can cause gastrointestinal irritation if consumed in large quantities.

The hot seasoning can cause burns, irritation of the gastric mucosa and even ulcers. Therefore, you should be careful when using chili in cooking meat dishes and be sure to take into account the preferences of all participants in the meal.

Coriander
