This is one of the two most poisonous seeds in the world. If the inner seed enters your blood you are dead.....contains ricin
Hmmm didn't know that .........what is the second one
Probably castor oil seeds. They also contain ricin.
When I was growing up, I think those red ones were called 'buck-beads' .

I remember playing with those beads, making necklaces for my dolls
When babies are born the custom was to make a bracelet of the black beads that they wear. The bracelet is ward off bad eye.
We grew up with stories about the werewolf who was obsessed with numbers. it could only enter your home if you had a string of 100 Jumbee beads outside your door. So, to confuse the werewolf you made a sting of 99 Jumbee beads. The werewolf would spend the entire night counting the string over and over trying to reach 100. o. He
