Ugh. So, I had brought some of my pepper plants indoors, and found one of these decimating it! Sneaky little bugs! Be aware of signs of #Hornworm infestation! Especially after bringing in any nightshade species!

Tomato is a member of the nightshade family (Solanaceae) and was was grown by the Aztecs who called it "tomatl". In Europe and colonial America, it was thought to be a deadly poisonous plant:

"The “golden apple” became the “poison apple” because it was thought that aristocrats got sick and died after eating them—but wealthy Europeans used pewter plates, which were high in lead content. Because tomatoes are so high in acidity, when placed on this particular tableware, the fruit would leach lead from the plate, which was said to result in illness from lead poisoning. No one made this connection between plate and poison at the time; the tomato was picked as the culprit."

Ahí leí sobre #Nightshades en su sitio web y dice que también recomiendan usar #Glaze argumentando que Glaze es «defensivo» y Nightshades es «ofensivo» (no en el sentido que ofende personas) XD

Así que parece que recomiendan usar ambos, acá dejo el link que acabo de leer:

My kids and I went hiking in the Blue Ridge on the southern edge of Virginia today, and saw many of these interesting fruits growing along the meadow portion of the hiking path. I thought they might be ground cherries; my son suggested gooseberries. Nope! These are Carolina horsenettle, also known as “devil’s tomatoes.” They are nightshades and are highly toxic! #hiking #plants #nightshades

I don't have arthritis.

But when I eat potatoes, especially chips, I get so much imflammation, it feels like I do. The pain actually wakes me up.

Farewell, potatoes!

(Thankfully, tomatoes are still ok!)

Over the last 10 years, I've been surprised to discover how much suffering can be caused (and alleviated!) by diet.

More #tomatoes are fruiting & ripening. I really like eating tomatoes.

So... if you have a #sensitivity to #nightshades, you're probably avoiding things like peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes. And hopefully that's helping.

But if you still feel like shit all the time, be sure you're not smoking any cigarettes--turns out tobacco is a nightshade, too !

I found sooooo much black nightshade for #inat, I'm so happy! I want to harvest the berries but it felt like disrespect because I have no clear intention so I left them be #plants #nightshade #nightshades
