Right, I think the article spoke of 5 pounds of wild onion.  But I have seen some bahai grass/hay fields here literally full of the wild onion grass... maybe not very well maintained pasture for the horses...

Humans would get the same Heinz bodies (if memory serves) if they ate enough.

 

As for supplementing with potential toxins---well, the only difference between a "supplement" and "toxin" is dose.  Virtually every nutrient will cause detrimental effects if overdone, which of course is the primary argument against buying more and more buckets---the end result is usually an overall decrease in health rather than an increase. :-)
