If postpartum women, pregnant women and children overeat, they are prone to sores and boils. Since fresh apricots are highly acidic, eating too much of them can not only increase the acid in the stomach, damaging the stomach and causing stomach problems, but can also corrode the teeth and induce tooth decay. Not only is eating apricot flesh harmful to humans, but we should also be careful about eating fresh almonds: fresh almonds come in bitter and sweet flavors, and bitter almonds contain a toxic substance called "hydrogen cyanide". Eating too much raw can cause poisoning or even death. As for apricots, which can cause serious harm if eaten excessively, 3 to 5 pieces per serving are considered appropriate.
