Can the seeds really be used as a spice? I'd be afraid to. I'd like to see the source of that information because it seems very dangerous. They're bright red (which any naturalist would tell you is a sign of something poisonous)

The sap is extremely reactive to children. It causes horriable rashes. I grew up in Florida. Myself and friends of mine would always break out in a rash if we climbed in a "Holly Tree". I do not have any allegies but the sap of the Florida holly tree caused a rash. I haven't tried in adulthood to see if I still have the reaction.
