When testing if something is poisonous (or if you have an allergy) before eating it safely, what three things can help?
Answer Touch it to your arm and wait 24 hours. Then touch it to your lips and wait 24 more hours. Then chew some and spit it out and wait a final 24 hours.
I would also add a final step of tasting a little with a swallow and waiting for another 24 hours, but that can be too long to wait in a dire situation.
