About: Are yew berries toxic   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

My mother once freaked when I ate some mystery berries (which turned out to be wild rasberries) because she thought they were yew berries. If they were, would I have gotten sick? Birds eat them, but I'm assuming they'd be immune to any toxicity.

Other parts of the plant, such as the leaves, are also highly toxic. That said, I wouldn't recommend eating the berries anyway - firstly because the toxin is powerful and you don't want to make a mistake (especially not swallowing a seed by accident) and secondly, because you should never trust everything you read on the Internet.
