Can you touch nightshade

Yes, you can touch nightshade plants, but caution is advised. Many species of nightshade, particularly the berries and foliage, contain toxic compounds that can be harmful if ingested. While handling the plants may not cause immediate harm, it's best to wash your hands afterward to avoid any accidental ingestion or skin irritation. Always use gloves if you are unsure about the specific type of nightshade and its toxicity.
