[2025-10-01T22:12:42.247539] [PI reasoning] **Analyzing contamination effects**

I'm delving into ergot contamination of rye seed, which can lead to serious issues like ergotism and gangrene, but limb weakness is often associated with other symptoms. There’s a comparison to lathyrism from grass peas in India, causing irreversible lower limb paralysis. It seems I need to clarify the distinction between rye and Lathyrus, as both could contribute to similar symptoms. The correct answer appears to be Lathyrus sativus, but I'm puzzled by the mention of rye ingestion.
