Message definition (Illicium verum)
[[Japanese star anise]] (''Illicium anisatum''), a similar tree, is highly toxic and inedible; in Japan, it has instead been burned as [[incense]]. Cases of illness, including "serious [[neurological]] effects, such as seizures", reported after using star anise tea may be a result of deliberate [[economically motivated adulteration]] with this species. Japanese star anise contains the [[neurotoxin]] [[anisatin]], which also causes severe [[inflammation]] of the [[kidneys]] ([[nephritis]]), [[urinary tract]], and [[gastrointestinal tract|digestive organs]] when ingested.
