To think I’m going to die after eating lightly cooked edamame?

I lightly stir fried some edamame and ate them crunchy. Put the packet in the bin while tidying up and it says Caution:Do not eat raw. A quick check on Google reveals that raw edamame are poisonous. I now feel sick but it might be psychological. Am I going to die?

Thanks for this thread😊. This year DH grew Edamame beans, as l liked then when eating out. The crop has suffered from the drought and us being away.
No one told me not to eat them raw. So yesterday I picked a pod and ate a bean.
Up most of the night, couldn’t work out why. Now I know!!

I can only assume that OP is dead

I've often wondered how people discovered these plants that are poisonous unless properly cooked could be eaten. I remember watching a documentary about an indigenous tribe who had a staple food of wild cassava tubers which are deadly poisonous unless processed in the correct way. How did they work this out?
Here's an interesting article on edible plants with poisonous parts laidbackgardener.blog/2016/08/29/edible-plants-with-poisonous-habits/

Don’t worry, I like raw bacon... still alive 😄. A lot of what we eat contains poisions, but in small quantities it has no effect.

Did you die?

RIP @BigBlueBubble

There was a young lady called bubble
Who found herself in all sorts of trouble
She was ever so keen
To eat up her beans
That she shat herself into a puddle
