Red Berries in the Wild
Although you just watched an animal eat the appetizing looking berries off of a closeby bush, you should never consume red berries in the wild unless you know exactly what they are. If you end up eating holly berries, you will likely poison yourself to the point of constant vomiting. If you eat a cotoneaster berry, which admittedly look perfectly edible, you will become susceptible to seizures and momentary blindness. Wilderness poisonings are no joke, and if you spot a member of your crew eating an unidentified berry or fruit, call poison control immediately.
