http://www.eattheweeds.com/coral-bean-humming-bird-fast-food/

One of the more unusual wild edibles, the young flowers (and leaves) of many species in the genus are a common vegetable. Edibility varies from species to species and they can be narcotic. Properly prepared they are a tasty addition to any meal. The beans are toxic and not edible.

@EatTheWeeds thank you for that info as well. I hadnt realy thought about the aspect of water being bad. And its such a common source of contaminants.
