Clove Overdose: 5 Major Harms of Eating Too Many Cloves Daily!

• Excessive clove consumption, especially 5-10 cloves daily, can lead to digestive issues like gas, stomach irritation, heartburn, vomiting, and diarrhea due to its warm potency and eugenol.
• Overconsumption may trigger allergic reactions such as contact dermatitis, skin itching, redness, rashes, and swelling.
• Direct application of undiluted clove oil to gums or teeth can cause pain, gum damage, irritation, and sensitivity.
• High doses of clove oil, particularly in children, pose a risk of liver toxicity.
• Cloves can significantly lower blood sugar, leading to hypoglycemia, and their eugenol content increases bleeding risk, especially for those on blood thinners or before surgery.

Why It Matters: Moderate clove intake is healthy; excessive use can cause severe digestive, allergic, and bleeding issues.
