Northwest

Notes:

you have this listed as extremely poisons.

I have eaten this berry all my life and continue to this day.
Sometimes in moderate quantities, several full stems of 5 to 10 berry's.
I am 64 years old.
I have never had a problem eating them, I eat them when i am walking in the forest under heavy exertion. If anything they give me energy.
