Poison center: Call your local poison center or health department for assistance. Raw chestnuts can cause upset stomach. Depending on how much you ate, you may be able to weather it through. If you develop vomiting diarrhea, dizziness or change in consciousness, it would be prudent to see a doctor or go to local hospital. Wish you good health!
