A prickly, invasive, altogether unpleasant weed, the silver leaf nightshade is highly toxic due to the presence of solanine, a glycoalkaloid poison that causes cardiac events and severe nausea and vomiting (even paralysis and death in high enough doses) Although the plant has some historic medical use, I DO NOT RECOMMEND using any part of this plant for internal or external medical useStill, the indigenous Pima people of North America used the berries as a vegetable rennet, rennet being used to curdle milk, as in making cheese The Kiowa used the seeds together with brain tissue to tan leather And since Silverleaf Nightshade produces such a deep root system and is able to survive very droughty conditions, and the 3/4inchwide flowers actually are quite pretty,Hold stock that have been in silverleaf nightshade areas in an easy to monitor area for two weeks before moving into clean paddocks clean machinery before moving from infested to clean areas Pasture Management Healthy spring and summer pastures compete with silverleaf nightshade during its growing season Lucerne's deep roots dry out the soil and limit silverleaf nightshade
