RE: [MittleiderMethodGardening] Black Nightshade

 

Gaaa, definitely stay away from this one:

All plant parts of Solanum americanum should be considered
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisonous> poisonous as they contain high
levels of <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanine> solanine and
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solamargine> solamargine,
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic> toxic
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycoalkaloid> glycoalkaloids,
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanum_americanum#cite_note-1> [2], as well
as the <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropane_alkaloid> tropane alkaloids
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scopolamine> scopolamine (hyoscine) and
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyoscyamine> hyoscyamine (an
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomer> isomer of
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atropine> atropine).
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanum_americanum#cite_note-2> [3]

From the Link:

You may experience very clear sinuses after ingesting a small amount. A
large amount would be like taking a handful of Sudafed and that would be
very painful and bad for you....

I would *put on disposable gloves* and then yank it and trash it.
