Lathyrism or neurolathyrism is a neurological disease of humans and domestic animals caused by eating certain legumes of the genus Lathyrus. This problem is mainly associated with Lathyrus sativus (also known as Grass pea Kesari Dhal Khesari Dhal or Almorta) and to a lesser degree with Lathyrus cicera Lathyrus ochrus and Lathyrus clymenum containing the toxin ODAP.
