The Rosary Pea, (Abrus precatorius) named so for it’s frequent use in Rosaries, is highly toxic thanks to high levels of Abrin found inside the seeds. Each seed contains more than enough to kill an adult human, though the seeds are quite safe as long as they are intact. If you have any jewelry made with these pea’s, be very careful not to chew them!

These are also used to make bracelets sometimes. That’s a problem because, when you put a hole through the seed, the toxin inside can escape. If worn over long periods of time, the toxin can absorb through the skin. Best not to wear those.
