The studies have not looked closely enough to know if it happens with
seedless yet. It happens with raisins, grapes, and currants.

The mycotoxin hypothesis never panned out; neither did any fungicides,
herbicides, or pesticides. That doesn't mean that one might not have
been missed, of course. Mycotoxins are often neurotoxic and that isn't
happening, either, BTW, from what I've read.

Having an item, in this case grapeseed, impair platelet aggregation
is a serious concern -- heck, a counter-indication -- if a bleeding
disorder is present, which it was with these ferrets. If they were
clotting too much then that could be a different matter perhaps, but
they were not. They were bleeding. You don't give something that could
impair the body's own natural ways to reduce bleeding during a bleeding
disorder.
