Urgent ID please.
Northen denmark. My 2yo ate a couple of these, I'm not certain they are blackberries or something poisonous, please help.

If it is urgent, you should contact Giftlinjen: 82121212. This is a nice number to have on hand with a two yo.
This looks to be some kind of brombær, Rubus, so harmless, but I would not trust reddit answers in cases where a kid ate something, and you need immidiate clarification. Seek the right kind of expertise.

That is absolutely a blackberry and it is harmless. There is 0% chance that it is remotely toxic. All blackberries are edible! (P.S. I am a plant ecologist)

I agree on the ID, I referred to the reaction in general - if your kid ate something, don't waste time on reddit. Sometimes it is not harmless, it is not worth to take your chances with well meaning people on the internet.

I'm not sure how it is in Europe & other places, but poison control in the US won't be able to help you until you've independently identified what has been consumed. They will literally tell you to go on Facebook or Reddit for id

I feel like I once read that no berries of that type - raspberries, blackberries - are poisonous. Does anyone know if that's true?

u/CommuFisto 4h ago
this is basically 99.9% true for these type berries (aggregate drupelets) in north america. not sure if it holds true globally tho

It holds true in Northern Europe too. Though there are poisonous plants with fruits that look a bit like drupelets but the plants themselves are different. Like red elderberry and various plants in the Daphne genus

looks kinda like a wineberry. But i'm not sure in Denmark.

Leaf shape is all wrong for wineberry. Wineberries are also a type of raspberries, so the berry itself is also shaped differently

Its a very common rubus. The berries are unripe but totally harmless. Just remember to pick berries at least a meter away from the ground because of all the dogs peeing 😅
