If ingested, it would cause vomiting, kidney injury, convulsions and other severe health problems, including 'the most likely clinical outcome', death, the British experts found.

UK researchers investigated the effects of the famous potion from the 1981 children's book by British author Roald Dahl that protagonist George feeds to his grandmother in an attempt to make her less 'grouchy'.Īfter ingesting the eponymous medicine, Grandma experiences sudden invigoration and grows as tall as the house, bursting through the roof.
