Well there is your problem. You don't actually know anything about the subject and a "quick google" is a poor substitute for actual knowledge.

Nutmeg is a psychoactive substance at the right dose and at around 7-8 times that dose it can be lethal. That is more dangerous than alcohol.

With dextromethorphan the ratio of a dose that gets you high to the dose that kills you is about the same as alcohol.

How many people have died of a nutmeg overdose? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11343860 seems to suggest that it's rare.

Fair enough, but that is a very different measure of "worst".
