Looks like Teddy Roosevelt. His son Quentin pulled that stunt to help out his brother Archie, who was sick. Quentin was killed in WWI at the age of only 20.

That would be cashews.  Highly poisonous. Raw cashews contain urushiol, a toxic resin.

I wonder who the poor sap was that discover this?

Cashews are in the same family (Anacardiaceae) as mangoes, pistachios, sumac, and poison-ivy. Many plants in this family produce Urushiol, an oil that can cause a nasty, painful rash. (Our friend Dan had not been told about this when he came across them in Thailand Brazil, and burned his mouth on a fresh cashew. Ouch. He has some pictures of the local “caju” fruit here.) The cashew stores this icky stuff in the lining around the seed, which makes cashews very difficult to process. They are usually roasted to release the fluid, which is collected for other uses, such as varnish. After that, the hardened lining must be removed by hand.{snip}

Caustic non-nut.  (http://www.evilmadscientist.com/2007/cashews-the-nut-you-cant-buy-in-a-shell/)

The ad at the top of this page, for me, advertises 100% raw cashews. :runaway:
