Swedish food magazine Matmagasinet had a bit of a typo in a 2008 issue. As Canada.com reported, ” Ten thousand copies of a food magazine were recalled in Sweden after a mistake in one of its recipes left four people poisoned, the magazine said Thursday.” Rather than the two pinches of nutmeg listed in the actual recipe, the typo called for 20 nutmeg nuts.
When the magazine realized its mistake, it quickly shot off notifications to the 50,000 Matmagasinet subscribers and added a note to the inside of each retail magazine alerting purchases that “high doses of nutmeg can cause poisoning symptoms.”
What kind of symptoms? According to The Spruce Eats, “Ingestion of small amounts of nutmeg is harmless to the body, including the amounts called for in all standard recipes. However, the consumption of more than 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg at once can cause side effects like wild hallucinations, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and irregular heartbeat within one to six hours after ingestion. Effects can last for several hours, and, when a large amount is used, can lead to organ failure.” Someone missed the memo.

Angela Ripon?
Angela Rippon takes a drug test after hearing how eating poppy seeds caused one man to lose his job after failing a routine test at work.

What suitable women's events would that be, the school sports day mums' sack race?
as well as the IOC of course.

IOC response as below
It places responsibility on individual federations to determine eligibility criteria in their sport, but does not require transgender women to suppress testosterone levels in order to compete in female events.
However, this latest guidance has been criticised from many corners, with the athletes speaking to BBC Sport saying it is "not clear", "very vague" and "problematic".
The IOC's head of human rights Magali Martowicz told BBC Sport: "It has always been the responsibility of federations to set their own eligibility criteria. This has not changed

Not clear to me that the IOC have banned transgenders at all.

Nobody has banned transgenders. Who has been banned is transgender women who underwent male puberty from women's events, and as the IOC delegates eligibility to the sports federations that have done that it's a distinction without a difference, especially for those transgender women who wanted to compete in the Paris Olympics.

Okay, I'll give you half a point. The last time I looked, there was a list of 107 genders, which is a few more than the two which have seen the planet through the last 1.6 billion years. Many of them were downright flippant - some people self-identify as the characters they play in Grand Theft Auto, and others list their gender as None Of Your Business, or perhaps Fluid Depending on the Time of Day.
But that's not quite the point. As mentioned above, the IOC and other bodies have generally been highly specific about the tight eligibility conditions that they apply to people who have transitioned. To do anything else would ruin the prospects of sporting success for people who had been born female and had stayed that way.
Back to the point, sort of. Snooker players eat bananas, whose high vitamin B content includes tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into seratonin, nature's very own beta blocker. It calms their nerves and steadies their hands. Classical musicians use the same devious trick to counter stage fright. Disgraceful.
