Elderberry ripens in September, it is useful for colds and viral diseases. But eating unripe berries will lead to serious consequences for the body. Intoxication is fraught with severe colic, and for children this plant is extremely dangerous.
All parts of elderberry, including its fruits, are used in medicine, but only ripe fruits – green ones contain a high level of alkaloids.
If an adult eats an unripe elderberry, most likely death will not occur, but you will have to do a gastric lavage.
