The green parts of tomatoes are poisonous. I grow tomatoes. After i pick.
I wash my hands and arms. Twice !!
I never touch any part of my body before washing. If i do.that part of body will itch like 👺 for hours and get inflamed.
Lord knows ? If i were to rub my eye ?
When i wash the soap turns green. So i wash again for good measure !
Long sleaves and long golves is idea i had to. But after every picking or tieing. It would be necessary to wash shirt and gloves. And not let them touch me.
Squash and okra give me just about the same reaction. Eggplant doesn't bother me. So im guessing the reaction isn't a niteshade issue.
I wish you the best. 😎😎😎
Anything i say, could be misrepresented, or wrong.
