Well, I guess someone had to die first to find out. I mean, if people are starving, and the poisonous plant are the only alternative, I guess, is worth the risk

- major505 7y agoalso there are ways of discovering if something gonna be poisonous for you. You first put in contact with the skin, wait for reaction, than a small portion on tong. If no reaction was observed, then ingest a small quantity. An so go one. with that at least, you would have a less dangeours reaction with the poison, until you find out a safe way to consume the plant.
