Brazil Nuts

So I was chowing down on some brazil nuts I bought to keep at the desk here at work when I vaguely remember something about them being toxic in large doses. After a little Googling I did uncover some reports of selenium overdose due to brazil nuts. Reports I read after having just eaten I don't know how many brazil nuts. I wasn't counting, really. Is my current queasiness psychosomatic or real? No idea. Uggh.

Follow up: the effects of the about dozen or so I ate were mostly of the uncomfortably weird nervous system strangeness variety. Felt very weird for a bit, but more or less back to normal after an hour or two. From here on out I'm going very light on the brazils.
