  Are there any possible problems or complications?

  The cassava plant produces cyanide, a poison that can be deadly to humans, and cassava can be a serious health hazard if it is not processed properly. Some of the signs of cyanide poisoning are headache, dizziness, agitation, confusion, coma, and convulsions. Some people in developing countries have been poisoned by eating parts of the cassava plant that were not prepared properly. 

  In regions of Africa and Latin America where cassava is a main staple food, illnesses due to consuming smaller amounts of cyanide taken in over a long period of time can occur if cassava leaves or roots are not processed properly. Effects can include paralysis of the legs, trouble walking, and poor vision and hearing. Malnutrition can also occur when cassava is a major part of the diet because of the plant is low in protein and certain micronutrients.

  Some people are allergic to cassava. Those with allergies to natural rubber latex may be more likely to have serious reactions. Relying on this type of treatment alone and avoiding or delaying conventional medical care for cancer may have serious health consequences.

  Is this going to be the new "I feel bad for your husbands!" Or "no wonder you can't get pregnant?"

  You've been TTC 3 months and already want to do weird crap to yourself?
  Srsly, don't mess around with your fertility. If you're still not KU after a year, see a doctor like everyone normal.
