Toxicity[edit]
Solanine levels in S. nigrum can be toxic. Children have died from poisoning after eating unripe berries.[8] However, the plant is rarely fatal,[9] with ripe berries causing symptoms of mild abdominal pains, vomiting, and diarrhea.[8]
Poisoning symptoms are typically delayed for 6 to 12 hours after ingestion.[10] Initial symptoms of toxicity include fever, sweating, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, confusion, and drowsiness.[11] Death from ingesting large amounts of the plant results from cardiac arrhythmias and respiratory failure.[11] Livestock have also been poisoned from nitrate toxicity by grazing the leaves of S. nigrum.[3] All kinds of animals can be poisoned after ingesting nightshade, including cattle, sheep, poultry, and swine.[8] However, in central Spain, the great bustard (Otis tarda) may act as a seed disperser of European black nightshade (Solanum nigrum).[12] Black nightshade is highly variable, and poisonous plant experts advise to avoid eating the berries unless they are a known edible strain.[13] The toxin levels may also be affected by the plant's growing conditions.[3] The toxins in S. nigrum are most concentrated in the unripe green berries, and immature fruit should be treated as toxic.[10][11][14] Most cases of suspected poisoning are due to consumption of leaves or unripe fruit.
There are ethnobotanical accounts of S. nigrum leaves and shoots being boiled as a vegetable with the cooking water being discarded and replaced several times to remove toxins.[3]
