Today we cook bottlegourd with spices , take 50 gm or 1.5 tablespoon in plate with other food items , it feels lightly bitter , I eat it , I think it's due to spices like fenugreek. But after eating it I find eating bitter bottlegourd can cause death. Other family members is also eat this much quantity of that bitter bottlegourd. If it's poisonous how much time it take to show bad symptoms. If it's happen, is it give you time of 30-40 min to reach hospital.
