Ate raw tobacco leaf because I wanted to know what it tastes like. It does not taste good, so glad I know that now. Anyway turns out raw tobacco leaves contain a lot of nicotine and are considered "very poisonous". I have 0 tolerance to nicotine. It was just a small piece of the leaf but I'm almost definitely going to be nic sick for a while. Called poison control and they confirmed with me the point at which I should visit a hospital.
I have some hope in the knowledge that the few times I've smoked nicotine containing products I felt absolutely nothing even at high doses. I pray this means nicotine doesn't affect me as strongly as it does the average person and I don't get nic sick.
I already feel weird so probably not. I mostly just wanted to vent my misfortunes but if anyone has advice I'd be happy to listen lmao.
Edit: looks like I'm gonna be alright, I feel very strange but it's been over an hour and no nausea so I think I'm ok
I only know nicotine poisoning in kids cause I'm a peds nurse, but if adult world is anything like kid world then yeah it'll probably suck. Like dizzy, nauseous, maybe heart beating fast (you probably didn't eat that much and you have a plan anyway if you need medical attention).
Just heads up that tobacco plants make nicotine to keep bugs from eating them lol
