"Κάποιο λάκκο έχει η φάβα"

kápoio lákko échei i fáva

Rare but true that fava is dangerous to be consumed  by some people with specific genetic disorders. For them eating beans can cause Favism, a relatively rare medical condition that appears as acute hemolytic anemia (destroying red blood cells in a rate that body can 't easily replace) but we all cook broad beans (fava) so we can eat it without a fear. We use this expression in Greece when we want to say that there is a hidden danger on something that looks good and we should be careful on the way we approach a person or proceed in a situation.
