Hey Pete! This is Suzi! So sorry you have been sick! I got that flu shot 2 days ago, so I hope it works! Not interested in being sick for a month! YIKES! I will tell ya, shhhhhhh, we had this thing growing in our yard, and I was sure, dead sure, it was Amaranth. I ate a few leaves daily. Delicious. So, I sauteed garlic, added a ton of those leaves, and JD and I enjoyed what we thought was an edible veg. WRONG! We went to emergency by ambulance because we were seeing double and our muscles didn't work. We couldn't walk without holding on to something. I evidently, accidentally, poisoned us! Neuro-toxin
Turned out the weed was Indian Tobacco. OK to smoke, but not to ingest! Lesson learned!
I'm still watching that weed, waiting for it to bloom. It's 6' tall, and really green. BUT, just waiting for blooms. Will never again cook the leaves. And, lucky for me, I don't smoke, so won't be smokin' those leaves either!!
Get well soon!
Suzi
