Nutmeg is the name of the fifth episode of “Browsing around the clove”. This ground spice has, like all the other spices, many benefits, but if consumed in excessive amounts, the nutmeg powder may produce allergic reactions, dermatitis, or psychoactive effects.
It is therefore important to be aware of its use. Something like what will happen to Magellan and his fleet during this episode. First, for having incorrectly calculated distances, hunger and consequently scurvy, will take over the crew. And then, once they reach the mainland, on the peaceful island of Guam.

Seven is the number. Finally, Clove is here. The most precious spice that pushed this trip to be accomplished will not be easy to get. Magellan, immersed in an excess of confidence, will face the local chief Lapu-Lapu, in a battle where he pays with his life. So says Stefan…
