Index of Subjects Jean, The question is "Are the berries really poisonous ?". I find it odd that they are not listed as so in any poisonous plant guide I have checked, although they are widely regarded as being poisonous. I haven't even found a single report, besides David's, of any adverse symptoms. I have found several referances stating that there have been no reported cases of poisoning. To appease my curiosity, I'm going to make a trip to the local university library for further investigation.
