I was eating a plum just a minute ago and I noticed I could see in the middle. I tore the plum open and there wasn't a pit in the middle and small formation of clear crystal was inside. Should I call a doctor?
Fvcked up plum.

I called poison control and the lady told me to put it in a plastic bag and to put it in the freezer. Then if I get sick in two days, take it to the local agricultural department for testing.
Like the pit was eaten out by bugs? I know that sometimes the pit seperates from the walls of the fruit, but it doesn't fit through the stem hole thats five times smaller.

You are kidding, right?
Poison Plum Control Center?
Relax
You literally had a mutant. Plums are engineered to have smaller pits now, and sometimes little or no pit is the result.
It only had small fragments stuck to the wall and there was a crystaline formation in the middle like the ones in caves.
It was prob eaten by bugs then. Idunno, i've never encouted a pitted fruit like this before. Peaches/nectarines are sometimes weird to look at the pitt and stuff; all wrinkly and all.
I had an ingrown hair on the back of my neck and I was never able to see it and I was positive it was cancer. Wow...I just realized I'll never be able to see the back of my neck and head without mirrors...that sucks.

Wow, how interesting. I was reading about this type of plum in Popular Science just last week.
Apparently, you've got a Honduran Crystal Pit Plum...grows only in well...Honduras.
The crystals are actually the feces residue from the Aseego Plum Beetle, a small burrowing insect, that as a Pupa, burrows inside the fruit and gestates until it's adult stage. Aside from their acidic taste, the crystals are basically harmless.
Damn, that sounded good. I almost believe me!

Yummy
.Maybe that's what diamond members are supposed to find in plums.
If in doubt take a few of the crystals out and sprinkle them on the snow.
If the snow melts you will be all right.
