Jequirity Bean Bracelets - Warning

We have received the following information/warning from the Leicestershire County NHW Association:-

These potentially deadly bracelets have been found in various locations throughout the country. We are not aware of any being found in Leicestershire, but residents are being urged to be cautious.

Residents have been urged to return bracelets made from highly toxic Jequirity beans. They may have brought back from popular UK tourist attractions. The ladybird-like red and black seeds which make up the bracelets can be fatal if chewed or swallowed.
