Same thing with Zucchini, cucumbers and other pumpkin derivatives which originally produced the toxin Cucurbitacine. We just had a case where a man died after a pie made of home-grown Zucchini which tasted unusually bitter. Apparently the plants can start producing the toxine when under stress (e.g. heat wave). There's a reason why children avoid anything bitter-tasting.
