Both she and her husband were quite ill afterwards. Do any of you know anything about what might have contributed to their distress? Of course, it might simply have been contaminating bacteria that got on them from the handling, but could there be something in them that gets destroyed during cooking? Also, do any of you know about the recent statement (Radio Noon-CBC) that Solomon's Seal (convallaria multiflora) is fine to eat when it first comes up as a new shoot? I have a book on edible wild plants that says it is reported to be edible but not corroborated. My old "The Herbalist" by Joseph Meyer says the root is emetic, tonic, and astringent, but doesn't mention the shoots.
