An approximate NUMBER of cherry pits that will make you SICK and maybe vomit by the way I am 5 foot 6 150 lbs?
Cherry pits, or fruit seeds in general, will pass harmlessly through the digestive system if you swallow them. Of course, if you are determined to make yourself sick by swallowing cherry pits, you could swallow too many at once and make yourself sick, but the exact number needed really varies quite a bit depending upon the state of your own personal digestive system. Some people seem to have the ability to pass virtually any quantity of indigestible objects through their digestive systems. My guess is, if you were to eat two pounds of cherries, along with the pits, all at one sitting, you have an excellent chance of making yourself ill.

Why does no rusting occur when iron is covered by zinc?
Some metals, including iron, have oxides that do not hold together well, so they fall off, exposing the surface to air, or allow oxygen to pass through them, so pits can form. Zinc is not one of these; when it oxidizes, the oxide adheres to the surface of the metal, covering it and protecting it from atmospheric oxygen. If the zinc is plated onto iron, it protects the iron.
