Actually, yes. However, I do not know about your leg cramps.
Zucchini (courgette) may occasionally contain a family of natural toxins called cucurbitacins. These toxins give zucchini a bitter taste. Bitterness in wild zucchinis has been known for a long time but is rarely found in commercially grown zucchinis.
Bitter zucchinis have caused people to experience vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhoea and collapse. Do not eat courgettes that have a strong unpleasant smell or taste bitter.
Feel better!
If there was such a thing as being poisoned by them, my whole family would be dead!! Is there something else that might be causing leg discomfort?
I don't know it but if you hum it I will try and join in the chorus
