Interesting...but as a child my mom scared us so much that I would never try either...even as an adult.

Understandable.

I had a MOTHER dragging her TODDLER into the Garden Center and in her other hand was a handful of Nightshade with the red berries! Is this poisonous? Um - YES!

The kid had eaten a BUNCH of them - I mean, REALLY? They’re awfully bitter tasting! But, my sister stuck a bunch of bean seeds up her nose when she was a toddler, so who can say? ;)

Anyhow, I called Poison Control and they met her and the kid in an Ambulance in our parking lot. Never a dull moment! (We also had a woman suffer a major heart attack at our front door! Yikes! NOT on the same day though, LOL!)

Scary, to say the least. The kid was OK, but probably didn’t like that dose of Ipecac Syrup. ;)
