Did I overdo the almonds?

Just ate 150g roasted almonds (a rather too frequent favourite binge)...but no side effects except weight gain?

I know almonds contain cyanide. I know the smell. As an undergrad, I smelt almonds in the chem-lab and told the research assissant who was supervising our practical worK. He decided to evacuate the lab, so out we all went into the cold, whilst the lab techs donned breathing apparatus and checked everything for safety.
It wasn't cyanide, just something organic/aromatic that got put down a sink and vapourised when hit by hot water. Still We all got a bit of a break.
So what are the sympoms of cyanide pisoning?
I'm back to 100% now

Puts me in mind of the movie I saw many years ago.. "Little girl who lives down the lane"? A thriller in which the protagonist (Jodie Foster.) makes a "poisoned tea" for a pedophile stalker & gives him almond cookies as an accompaniment do disguise the taste....

Golly, you were very lucky, hope all is ok with your pregnancy. I feel for you. as sometimes you just get the urge to eat something that you fancy. As you say. we must be careful. I love almonds. walnuts, cashews, I do eat a lot of nuts. but will restrict myself. I do ot drink sodas, so not a problem for me
Thank you for informing us. Hope that you are now well and looking forward to having your baby. good luck
