I (female) picked a crab apple off of a random tree and want to eat it. is it possible for me to eat it, get poisoned, and die? the apples are growing on my university campus in a busy city. can any medical condition/illness make this death possible?

No. There is no such medical condition. The only thing you might do is contact the office that manages the campus grounds to be sure that a toxic insecticide of other treatment hasn't been used on the apple tree. Even if it happened, the actual risk probably is extremely low.

No, it's edible but you should clean with water before eating. Take care.
