Yes, it is. YOu need a cleanse, eat many pumpkin seeds or a sleepy pill before eating herbs that will kill them. If you don't eat the pumpkin kernals to put them to sleep than they will eat through your intestines and invade other parts of your body. There is much research on this site that can help you but, since you don't know how many you have I would start out killing them by eating subtle stuff like carrots than slowly working towards hot peppers and cheyenne pepper.
