Default Eating rhubarb after July

I have heard that rhubarb shouldn't be eaten after July because of
increased oxalic acid content. What happens to the human body if you do
eat rhubarb after this date? How dangerous is it?


Erm your kidneys get stones I think. Not pleasant if you have one of
those.

I think there was some in the shops the other day though so perhaps
not.
