Cyanide Poison risk: "Eating more than three small raw apricot kernels, or less than half of one large kernel, in a serving can exceed safe levels. Toddlers consuming even one small apricot kernel risk being over the safe level." I reviewed many sites that indicates they can cause Cyanide poisoning.
