Alicia Silverstone Shares Update After Unknowingly Biting Into Poisonous Fruit In Concerning TikTok

Alicia Silverstone had fans distraught earlier this week after showing herself on TikTok biting into a poisonous fruit and then disappearing from social media for what seemed like forever to fans (like half a day).

Thankfully, though, the actor updated the masses with a follow-up video and assured them she is okay.

In the first TikTok, Silverstone was moseying through the streets of England and stumbled upon some colorful looking fruit bushes in a stranger's yard.

She decided to help herself to some, even though she had no idea what they were.

Silverstone took to TikTok asking for viewer assistance to help identify the plant.

“OK, I’ve discovered something that I can’t figure out what it is and I need your help."

The Clueless star held up a tiny cherry tomato-looking fruit to the camera and explained:

“I just bit into it because it was on the street, and we were discussing whether this was a tomato or not.”

She continued, pointing the camera to the bushes.

“It’s definitely not because look at these leaves."

“Those are the leaves, so what the heck is this?”

Silverstone took another bite before concluding her TikTok:

“I don’t think you’re supposed to eat this. It’s almost like a pepper."

"Does anybody know what this is? I don’t know what it is; I need somebody to tell me."

"I’m in England.”

In the caption, the Aerosmith music video star wrote:

“What the heck is this!? I’m in England and can’t figure it out.”

Almost immediately, fans expressed their horror and alerted Silverstone that she had just bitten into a poisonous Jerusalem cherry.

Jerusalem cherries, also known as winter cherries, contain the poisonous ingredient solanocapsine which can cause abdominal pain, fever, headaches, nausea and even changes to one's vision.

The poison is found in all parts of the plant, but the unripe fruit and leaves contain the most.

Needless to say, fans shared their concern in the comments.

Many, however, still weren't fully convinced the actor was feeling 100%.
