Nothing else has been spoken of since yesterday: “serious incidents” occurred in the house of Amici 22 on New Year’s Eve. From the advances that were circulating on the Internet until yesterday, it was not known what had happened. The culprits of the New Year’s crime are Wax and NDG in the front line, but also Maddalena, Valeria, Tommy Dali and Samu. The taping of the episode, which will be broadcast on Sunday January 15, was taped yesterday and from the internet we learn that the six students all ended up in a challenge: Tommy was eliminated, Valeria lost to Cricca. The production has only known about the “crime” for a few days, which is why they did not take action before this episode. After the advances, everything was speculated on Twitter. From a group report of drinking too much, but the most popular theory, apparently corroborated by people close to them, is that they snorted nutmeg. According to reports from Amici News, the students actually prepared a hallucinogenic mixture with nutmeg on New Year’s Eve. While the production and Maria De Filippi decide not to say anything about it, let’s see why nutmeg, when snorted, can be really dangerous.

Friends and the Nutmeg Case: Why It’s Serious
It’s one of the most commonly used spices in cooking, but nutmeg can induce hallucinations in excessive doses. In high doses, above 2-8 grams (depending on individual sensitivity, height and age), nutmeg causes fever, nausea, vomiting, significant nervous excitement, up to severe mental disorders. In medicine, even cases of overdose after taking about 20-25 g of the product have been recorded.
Taken in non-recommended doses, it can cause delusions and hallucinations, as well as anxiety and paranoia. The hallucinogenic effect is attributed to the presence of two active ingredients: myristicin and elemicin, whose chemical structure is very similar to that of synthetic amphetamines, although the effect is very similar to that of LSD.
Guys.. they just messaged me privately, a friend of a brother of.. well let’s leave it at that..

The side effects of the spice
They knew a lot about the hallucinogenic effects of nutmeg since ancient Egypt. Back then, the spice was used with hash to increase symptoms. Nutmeg has also been implicated as a possible cause of miscarriage. In this context, in 1500, the hospitalization of an Englishwoman who ingested 10 ground walnuts to obtain an abortion is recorded. He failed in this intention, but was the victim of delusions and hallucinations. For this reason, special caution is required when using nutmeg during pregnancy (granted in small doses) and in people on psychopharmaceutical therapy (e.g. mono-amino-oxidase inhibitors).
Probably only brought to Europe as a spice, its side effects are hardly known.
Nutmeg is illegal in Saudi Arabia because it is hallucinogenic when consumed in large quantities.

The reason for the silence of Maria De Filippi
And perhaps Maria De Filippi herself wanted to avoid the distribution of the video precisely in order not to reveal the effects of nutmeg, since many people did not know about it. Or the talent presenter decided not to talk about what happened, for example, on New Year’s Eve with Amici 22, so as not to publicize that the guys made a hallucinogenic substance under the responsibility of the production. Or protect the kids from labels and gossip. In short, the production holed up behind a press blackout, but on the web that’s all they talk about.
