Luera's email:

I want to pass along a little mishap that happened today.  Boone got into some Brasil nuts and ate about a half dozen or so.  Within a two hour span he was at the vet because his whole face swelled up and he got sick and was very lethargic-didn't even want to get up from the floor.  He got a shot and the vet ran charcoal through his system to make sure everything was out.  He's okay now but boy that was a little scary.  The doctor said that he'd only heard that Macadamia nuts were poisonous and nothing about the Brasil's, however there is a mold/fungus that sometimes covers the nuts and it is poisonous.  Another expensive lesson for 2010 and it's only March.  He said to watch him with peanut products too.
