Oh boy. After years of foraging, I have finally done something incredibly stupid. I mistook a very close look-a-like for something I was familiar with and knew to grow in a certain area. It wasn't until after I finished a cup of tea that I realized that something was off.

I went back and looked closer at the plant and it dawned on me what I did. I called poison control for some advice, and he told me that my body will probably expel it naturally (in the form of a severe stomach bug.) How sick I will get will also vary depending on the level of toxicity in the plant.

I grew too comfortable with something I have done for years and made a mistake. Play taps for me, as I sink with my ship. Doot dooot

Hopefully there is a lesson I will learn from this. I will try to be more careful in the future.
