Will consuming an excruciating amount of wasabi, all at one time, lead to any serious health problem(s) and or, blithely, death?

The vapors from the heat might interfere with your breathing for sure. You'll know what I mean if you have ever got a bit stuck in the back of your throat and coughed like a crazy thing. I think your senses would stop you from eating enough to kill you but if you consumed a heap of it, I am pretty sure that your ring piece would never forgive you! Possibly what Jonny Cash's Ring Of Fire was about!

If you are eating the wasabi you get with sushi, it's not even wasabi, it's green colored horseradish! It can still mess you up!

"Wasabi and imitations
Almost all sushi bars in America, and most in Japan, serve imitation wasabi because the real product is extremely expensive. Imitation wasabi is usually made from horseradish, mustard, and green food coloring (sometimes spirulina), often as a powder to be mixed with water to make a paste. Since real wasabi loses its flavor if dried, powders containing real wasabi do not capture the genuine flavor. To distinguish between the true variety of wasabi and the imitation product, real wasabi is known in Japan as hon-wasabi (本山葵), meaning "original", or "true" wasabi"

Why would you in the first place?

-It depends on how much, Wasabi is a spicy Japanese Horse Raddish which is good for you and it contains anti-toxins but you could cough and choke to death from the heat.

You might choke from the taste. i don't think you can die from the wasabi itself.
