Side Effects of Jengkol

Eating an excessive jengkol can result in toxic effects to the heart, kidneys, liver and pancreas.

Jengkol seeds are slightly toxic because there is a content of jengkol acid, an amino acid that can cause djenkolism (jengkol seed poisoning).

Exit signs include muscle spasms, gout, urinary retention, and acute kidney failure. The situation is especially faced by men.
