I can see a deadly link for nightshade for a few of them (like when potatoes turn green) but I’ve never heard of poisonous tomato facts… Are there any?
That’s because they used pewter containers which were pretty common back in the day. The acidity from tomatoes would leech the lead out of the pewter and into the tomato so anyone eating this lead infused tomato product was gonna be in for a bad time.

any of the green parts of the tomato (even just the small bits inside the fruit) can kill small pets like hamsters or mice
Many parts of the tomato plant are deadly to pets. Same goes for all nightshade members.
Europeans used to think tomatoes were poisonous. They referred to them as poison apples.

I remember hearing that but I’d forgotten the specifics! Thanks!
